Waddesdon Manor lace collection

I spent an interesting morning looking at samples from the lace collection at Waddesdon Manor yesterday. I particularly admired the examples of Chantilly lace – a flounce and a fan, but there were also exquisite pieces of needlelace as well. The visit was arranged as part of the Lace 21 project, which is seeking proposals for lace interventions in the house for an exhibition in 2014.
