Comments: A border of Brussels bobbinlace application on machine net, with some needlelace fillings in a knotted grid pattern. The piece is light and delicate, with small buds used as esprits in the ground. Note how one end is undecorated, and interesting technical point. Overall condition looks very good from the photos.

Comments: Two lengths of the same Honiton border, the longer one with one seam. It’s a kind of alternating pattern of roses, thistles, and feathery leaves, with grid tally fillings. A little on the snails/slugs side, the condition looks good. A few broken brides.

Offered by: Ebay seller heartnsoul1, Hollis, New Hampshire, United States
Comments: A wide flounce of Brussels bobbinlace application on machine net. Some simple needlelace fillings, and I think there’s some needlelace Point de Gaze-type mesh used as shading in the roses. Hard to tell, closeups not close enough. The flowers are quite naturalistic. No esprits in the upper ground. Wish there were more of this, and also wish it was photographed flat so you can see the entire design at once. A few small holes, overall good condition.

Comments: A Brussels Duchesse bertha – I think the roses in the Point de Gaze inserts have raised petals. It looks a little unusual, especially the bands of bobbinlace surrounding the Point de Gaze. The design has a kind of verticality that is quite nice. The bobbinlace is a bit simply done, relying on small flowers and a simple leaf pattern. But it works nicely.  There are a few separations along the neck edge, but the Point de Gaze looks intact. Overall good condition.

Comments: A narrow rectangular veil, perhaps a bonnet veil, although it is a bit long. The lace is muslin applique on machine tulle. The applique appears to be done with an overcast stitch over a heavy cord, not tambour as in Belgian examples. The design is confined to three sides and is quite delicate. Seller cites a few pinholes in the net, overall condition is good.

Comments: Another narrow ‘bonnet veil’, this one a bit shorter than the previous example. This one is Brussels bobbinlace applique on machine net. A very simple, sparse design, with esprits scattered through the ground. No needlelace fillings that I can see. One broken spot on the bottom border, and a few pinholes, overall good condition.

Comments: An Irish Crochet round collar, fairly deep. I’m guessing that it is whiter than it looks against the green background, although seller says it has age patina especially around the neck edge. Large flowers and trefoil design, basically fairly simple. A little raised work, and a good scalloped edge.  Good condition overall.

Comments: An embroidered net flounce, tambour I think. Seller says it is an alb flounce, and the religious symbolism is obvious.  The work is very well executed. There a number of small holes in the net, and at least one patch that I can see. But from what I can see in the photos the condition is fairly good.  I had to go to French Ebay to get this to come up fully.

Comments: A Burano needlelace something – it is so small that I can scarcely belief it is a collar, even for a child. Not not sure what else it could be. There’s a little raised work along the cordonnets in some motifs, otherwise fairly standard stitchwork. Looks in very good condition.

Comments: Wonder where the other lappet is? An outstanding example of Brussels bobbinlace with brides, made 1720-1730. Note the snowflake fillings extensively used in the designs. Telling lace like this apart from contemporary English Devon work can be difficult, and the ‘square’ mass of leaves at the end of the piece is something you also find in English work. But there really aren’t enough known examples to really tell. Based on the fineness of the work, I’ll go with Flemish.  The condition appears very good, I don’t see any problems from the photos.

Comments: It’s been a while since we’ve seen a really good parasol cover. This is Brussels Duchesse, with extensive work in the Point de Gaze inserts. Raised work on the bobbinlace. Overall quite an effective design, almost too crowded for a parasol. The details could get lost in the folds. But you never know until you see something like this mounted. The condition appears very good, seller cites a small repair, but I can’t see it.
