"In the Victoria and Albert Museum collection, Denmark is represented by a few skilful embroideries done on and with fine linen, muslin and suchlike, which are somewhat similar in appearance to lace fabrics of Mechlin design."—(A. S. Cole.)
"The lace fabric in North Sleswick in 1840 was divided into two districts—that of Tönder and Lygum Kloster on the western coasts, and that of Haderslaben and Apenraade on the east. The quality of the lace from these last localities is so bad that no Copenhagen dealers will have it in their shops."—Report of the Royal Sleswick-Holstein Government. 1840.
Mr. Jens Wulff, an eminent lace-dealer, Knight of the Danebrog, who has made great exertions to revive the lace industry in Denmark.
Tönder lace was celebrated for its durability, the best flax or silk thread only being used.
"A lace-maker earns from 3½d. to 4½d. per day of sixteen hours."—Rawert's Report. 1848.
