I love
these design registers and it’s great to see some of them out on display in the
Calais Lace Museum. These pages of lace nets are interesting for the variety they
show. Some are regular and look like nets that would be used on hats (the two
on the second row) while the piece at the centre of the top row looks quite
irregular. The sample at the bottom left looks similar to the design used on
the ceiling in the restaurant (see my blog in July). The date given for these
pieces is 1908 but the designers are not specified.
