About 90 lots of laces will be listed, and Claude has sent the following notes and photos:

• #31  This kind of Valenciennes de Gand has been produced after Sister Marie-Joseph from the Visitation convent died. The bobbin lace makers then created a simpler diamond mesh ground of twisted threads to fastening the production, and they used a cotton thread instead of the fine linen thread used by the Visitation convent.
  Dim : 3,65m x 7,5cm (144” x 3”) (good condition) 1,40m x 6cm (55” x 2.4”) (good condition, one join)
  200/250 EUR
    
• #33  Flounce of Dresden stitch, Germany, 18th cent, fine whitework on a fine batiste. (good condition)
  Dim: 75cm x 8,5cm. (29.6” x 3.3”)
  250/300 EUR
  
  
• # 42  A nice flounce of French Alençon handmade needle lace dating from the 2^nd half of the 19th cent, lovely floral design very finely worked in  cotton thread, with the simple Alençon ground, horse hair along the edge, color is slightly ecru. Good workmanship.
  Dim : 5,85m x 7cm (230’’ x 2.8’’) (good conditon, a very few little holes in the net)
  700/800 EUR
  
• #51 A deep stole of a fine Brussels Rose Point de Gaze needle lace, beautiful design of flowers and cartouches with raised work, over 130 roses with 3 Dimensional petals, about 1880-1900, cotton thread, creamy-bone color with some shading (good condition, some slightly orange shades or little storage spots, a few little holes to the net)
  Dim : 2,60m x 68cm (102” x 27”) the wider
  4000/5000 EUR
    
• #53 A gorgeous handkerchief of a fine Brussels Rose Point de Gaze needle lace, beautiful design of flowers and cartouches with raised work, roses with 3 Dimensional petals, about 1870-80, cotton thread, ivory color (very good condition, a very few storage dots)
  350/400 EUR
  
• #56 A rare gorgeous handkerchief framed with a wide French Alençon handmade needle lace, dating from the 2nd half of the 19th cent.
  Beautiful design with garland of flowers, each corner is decorated with a basket, bouquets of flowers & ribbon, cartouchs with fancy filling.  Alençon simple ground, cotton thread, horse hair. Good workmanship (very good unused condition for the lace, eight tiny pinholes to the central cloth)
  The beauty of the design and the really good quality of workmanship  show that this comes from one of the foremost manufacturers, possibly Lefebure.

  2000/2500

The view on your computer has a few seconds delay but the auctioneer is used to it and he will wait a few second when somebody is bidding through the net. This works well as long as the internet equipment has no connection troubles.

Phone bidding:
Otherwise, you can ask to be called when the auctioneer is approaching the particular lot number. A member of the staff will phone you a few minutes before the item will be on sale and you can instruct him to bid on you behalf, in real time.  Both of these possibilities are free of charge and will not have any impact to the final hammer price.

Absentee Bid:
You can also submit an Absentee Bid Form (an order bid) and the auction house will execute it by bidding for you behalf until the price has reached your nominated amount. If bidding doesn’t reach this amount, you win the item for the price at which the bidding ceased. If you are the winner, a member of the staff will send you by email your final invoice. We will send your item to the appropriate postal address as soon as we will get your payment.
