continuos Bobbin Lace
Most Flanders lace today is identified by
the five hole mesh (roseground) that can be seen in the closeup.
The oddly shaped design can sometimes be recognized as animals
but is often just an abstract design as in this sample.
This lace is in one continuos piece so it is usually not very wide.
Older Flanders lace is now divided into the names Binch, Michelin and Valenciennes.
Flanders lace in the 20th century is a unique and separate category of it's own.
