Seller: Ebay seller sirjle, PARIS, France
Comments: A border of Brussels bobbinlace application on machine net. Some simple needlelace fillings. A surprising amount of variation in the repeats. It has a light, open design, and is in very good condition. I can’t see any problems from the photos. Unusual to be in such good condition for this long a piece.  This seller has a lot of this kind of material posted, click the ‘See other items’ on the posting.

Comments: An enterprising person could probably put any center you wanted into this piece.  I wonder what the story is with the small circular hole. The bobbinlace is quite good, and the overall design effective. Seller cites one storage stain, and I don’t see any condition issues with the lace itself.

Comments: A very collectible width and length on this piece. When a piece like this has the bit of clothwork where the brides come together, that’s a good sign of Bruges work. The design is bold and well executed, with some nice raised work. Condition looks very good, I can’t spot any problems from the photos.

Comments: A Brussels Duchesse fan with Mother of Pearl sticks, carved and gilt. Comes with a carved box. It’s pretty small. The lace is standard Duchesse with one Point de Gaze insert, can’t tell if the rose petals are raised. The tassel looks out of proportion, maybe a replacement? Not sure.

Seller: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: A very interesting needlelace fan leaf. I’ve asked for some closeups of the cordonnet before I’ll definitely say Burano, although I’m thinking it’s probably OK. The design is good, if a little heavy handed for this form. Kind of a throwback to 18th c design, a good try, but could be a little more refined. Nice clothwork variations used as filling, along with some bridework. A few little holes in the mesh, but overall good condition.

Seller: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: This ‘collar’ has a good early Genoese feel. Note the dense, compact leaves and and the kind of ‘smashed’ stitches in the rest of the piece. That’s largely a result of the finishing process which has been lost today. All the threads gather at the foot edge between motifs and continue as expected.  Unclear if this has been formed from another length – I’ve been staring at the termination of the motifs at the collar edges, but photo’s aren’t close enough to say if that’s deliberate. I might go earlier than the seller on this one. Condition is a bit rough, some broken brides, but I don’t mind in this case.

Comments: I like to put up a whitework handkerchief like this occasionally, because the needlelace fillings are the same ones often used in Alençon lace.

Comments: A flat Point de Gaze handkerchief, excellent work. Some interesting spiderlike fillings in the little rings in various connecting bands. I’m especially intrigued by the 8-pointed flowers in the corners, they look padded somehow. The design is very dense and romantic – note also the extensions of the lace into the inner cloth. The picots on the edge are connected by a thread, in imitation of Alençon horsehair.  There are quite a few small holes in the net, but the rest of the lace looks fine.

Comments: Most Proctor teneriffe wheels you see for sale are round – this listing has one round and the rarer square one. Made of gutta-percha (look it up on wikipedia). That little stained thing to the right is actually the top cover of the box that the loom came in. These looms are meant to be pinned to a solid pillow like a pinchushion. Proctor doesn’t seem to have made pillows for their looms, so these are probably handmade. This is a very nice set with original mailing materials.

Comments: I’m reviewing this because I’ll be posting a Collecting piece on lace-related chromolithograph advertising cards soon. This is a complete set of 6 in Italian – it also came in French. It advertises Liebig’s Extract of Meat, a sort of meat paste in a jar invented in 1840. The back of each card tells a little more about the lace depicted on the front. The set looks in good shape, and it might just be the photography, but examples in my collection have quite vivid colors.

Comments: Very similar to item 220925656511 that I reviewed in the January 8th Ebay Alerts. But narrower. This kind of laces dates back to the early 18th century, but here’s it’s more the late 19th early 20th century revival that led to today’s Point de Fee.

Comments: An interesting piece, but I’ve got some concerns about it being really early. I looked through Le Pompe, 1559 by Levey and Payne, which has lots of early plaited examples, although not quite the ‘punto in aria’ bobbinlace copy. I was looking for the specific treatment of the footer and the baseline of the triangles. There are similar zigzag patterns, but normally with picots. The work just looks a little too mechanical and shiny; it doesn’t have the age you might expect. And it is very long which would be extraordinary in an early piece. I think it’s a later, very good copy, in an appropriate width. L. Paulis in her Technique and Design of Cluny Lace (1921) gives many patterns for similar laces.

Comments: An impressive piece. It appears to be intact from beginning to end. This kind of lace has a history going back to the 18th century, and is still made today under the name Point de Fee. Generically we call it Binche, although whether it was ever made in the town of Binche is open to question. This particular piece appears complete from beginning to end. There was a revival of this kind of lace in the 1920’s, and I’m thinking it is a 20th century piece. If the thread proves to be linen I could change my mind, but I think it’s cotton.

Comments: It’s unusual for a bobbinlace applique on machine net flounce like this to be finished on both sides, and 20″ is a little wide. I wonder if it isn’t two pieces sewn together. There does seem to be a seam along the length about 1/3 of the way down from the narrower patterned edge. The patterns of both parts do match – just thought it was a little funny. It’s a nice delicate piece, very long, and in very good condition.

Comments: Brussels application on machine net, and for once the motifs are needlelace. Design is very dense, glat work, with a few ring fillings. It has a little puckered washed look about it. Otherwise condition appears good.
