There is a lot of controversy about the source
of  Point d'Angleterre.
The most commonly held thought is that it was made
in Belgium  and named as an English lace 
so it could be sold in England
despite the import restrictions.

This lace is a mixed lace, 
 predominately bobbin lace with
only a few needlelace details.

The lappet art the left contains
most of the identifying details
found in this lace. 

1. Linen stitch motifs
2. Bundled outlines
   (known as ribs or tensitck)
3.  Point de Gaze ground mesh
4. Tiny rings covered with 
    buttonhole stitches. 
    These can be found in the ground 
    or in the flower centers as shown.
