Brussels Bobbin Lace

Brussels Lacemaker
Small fragment of fine machine net with appliqués of 19th century Brussels bobbin lace. Motifs all are well formed and in excellent condition This would make a great study sample, or the motifs could be reapplied to another net or fabric and reused on a bridal veil, or could be used to repair other larger veils or shawls. Needlework filling stitches suggest it is Brussels, not English. 


Brussels Mixed

Central motif above is needle lace (Point de Gaze)
and the outer leaves and flowerets are Duchesse Lace.
