Comments: A border of Bruges Bloemwerk with irregular picoted brides.  Note the typical ‘islands’ in the brides.  The design is interesting, not the standard Bloemwerk motifs, but a more ambitious floral and leaf, although a little primitive.  I wonder if the thread might be linen, which could take it out of the Belgian sphere. Can’t really tell. The lace looks intact, just a little discolored. Generally good condition.

Comments: There are so many wide, very long Chantilly borders around that sometimes you can miss good narrower ones.  This one has a slightly architectural design with the band dividing the top and bottom portions.  Hard to tell if it is Belgian or French.  Looks in basically very good condition from the photos, I don’t see anything obviously wrong.

Comments: A small fan of Duchesse de Bruxelles, with one of the more interesting designs I’ve ever seen.  the Point de Gaze inserts are pictorial, showing a maritime scene. I think the initials on the sail on the boat in the center insert are “VA”. Not sure. Technically the bobbinlace looks like a Bruges product, not very sophisticated. But I’m fascinated by the needlelace.  The MOP sticks have elaborate decoration, one repaired.  If the colors in the photos are true the lace does look rather beige, and there are a number of small holes in the needlelace ground. Basically good condition.

Comments: A bronze colored figure of a lacemaker – the actual material might be resin. Made sometime in the 1980’s.  The model might be known. The pillow is rather flat, and I can’t tell what type of bobbins are used.  The modeling is good, although the surface finish of the skirt is just crosshatched.  Looks in generally very good condition from the photos.

Comments: An Irish Crochet dress front, with what might be a provenance, provided the sale at the house was not seeded with outside items. Picots are crocheted loops.  I wanted to point out the quality of the thread used in this piece – it is a little rough which makes the motifs not quite as tight as seen in earlier pieces. Probably a sign of a later piece. Good symmetric design, and the general condition looks very good.
