Plate CXVIII. BORDER AND CAP CROWN OF BOBBIN-MADE LACE
Of Devonshire make in the style of Point d'Angleterre or Brussels lace. The toilé details are made separately and joined partly by réseau and partly by brides picotées. The upper piece shows the back of the lace, with the threads from the réseau carried across the toilé of the pattern. The convolutions of the toilé in the blossoms are considered to be characteristic of Honiton lace.
3 ft. 4 in.
