I was
delighted with these little bits of lace I bought in a mixed lot a few weeks
ago. They are a mixture of bobbin and needlelace and beautifully worked.
Although
they look similar at first glance there are differences between them,
particularly in the swag beneath the flower design and the number of couronnes
around the flowers. I didn’t have a magnifier on me when I bought them so wasn’t
sure whether the net ground was handmade or not, but looking at it under
magnification when I got home proved that it was handmade. I’m delighted with
my bargain but a little sad that such exquisite work was being sold for next to
nothing.
