This auction includes the third part of the Pat Earnshaw lace collection. The lace lots run from 399 to 456, forming the late afternoon portion of the auction. Not all the photos have been included as of the date of this post.  There are quite a few lots with multiple pieces. I especially like:
Valenciennes lappets (despite a repair), lot 436
A collection of 3 rather unusual lappets, log 439
Border group, lot 449
Alençon/Argentan pieces lot 450
6 mainly Flemish alb flounces, lot 453
A Milanese heraldic flounce, lot 455
A group of Honiton applique pieces, lot 456
