Comments: The fan leaf is Brussels application on machine net, and I can’t tell if the center area is cut out for the painting or not. But it is quite nicely done and comes with a Tiffany box. Slight discoloration to the lace, little damage to a stick, but overall very good condition.

Comments: Another fan retailed by Tiffany, with box.  Point de Gaze leaf, no raised work, plenty of good fillings. Nicely painted MOP sticks.  Overall this is a good quality lace and works quite well in the fan setting.  I don’t see any obvious condition issues from the photos.

   No bids.

Comments: Another Point de Gaze fan, densely patterned, no raised work, very good work overall. Not as many fillings as the last one, but it’s made up for by the intricate pattern.  Sicks are beautifully carved, and almost compete with the lace in complexity. Lace is somewhat stained, but I don’t see any obvious damage.

Comments: A wide flounce of bobbinlace applique on machine net, but seems Belgian, especially given the needlelace fillings.  Good spacing of the design, but no additional work like esprits in the upper net.  Condition looks very good, seller cites only two pinholes.  Hard to tell too much given the light background in the photos.

Comments: Good mixed tape laces are hard to find, but I like this one. Good needlelace fillings, and a solid, well-worked ground, which certainly could be Belgian.  Wish there were closer photos, the tape might be handmade. Can’t tell.  Condition looks very good.

Comments: A Brussels Duchesse border, medium width, although rather short.An interesting desing of small motifs with thin leaves, and note the use of fillings in the bobbinlace motifs as well as in the Point de Gaze cartouches.  Very good condition, wish there were more.

Offered by: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: Raised Venetian lace of this small scale is sometimes known as Rosepoint in contrast to the larger Gros Point. The flow of the design looks intact in some parts, but disjoint especialy toward the ends. Most of these laces were reworked from earlier peices, and this doesn’t seem to be an exception. Still, it is a good example and I see some well-done sculpted raised borders.

Offered by: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: A capback, later 18th to early 19th c, of a type know as Argentan, although it was also made in Alençon. Probably a bride tortilée ground. Condition is quite good for its age, just a few small holes along the lower edge, and some pulls in the ground throughout. Hard to tell if there are any repairs. A nice example.

Comments: This border has the look of the Italian Abruzzi region laces. Perhaps Pescocostanza? A nice meandering design with 5-hole ground. The slightly scalloped edge is unsually, normally these are straight. Seller cites some spotting and minor openings, but overall good condition.

Comments: Again I think it’s an Italian piece, maybe a headpiece or a collar? Hard to tell. There does seem to be a left-right symmetry, although it’s a bit hard to spot.  The piece looks intact, and in good condition.  I won’t venture a guess as to date.
