Bedfordshire- English Bobbin Lace
also known as Beds
................................
Notice the 9 pin edge shown at the bottom of the photo. This usually differentiates it from Cluny which is less likely to use this edge.
This close up of the above lace shows a wonderful adaption
of the famous 9pin edge.
Here is another closeup of Beds. The 9 pin edge is very different.
Beds is also commonly found with the leaves/tallies/wheatears as shown. Unlike the ones in Maltese lace, the Beds leaves are usually long and narrow.
Bedfordshire Lace Butterfly
Notice the pointed leaves in the butterfly above, as compared to the more squared off leave in the lace on the left. Both are found in Bedforshire lace.
