Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lace Making and Collecting: An Elementary Handbook "But when I bought it they told me it was Brussels - Swiss Brussels," she said plaintively. "That explains everything," the lace expert replied. "You bought it in Switzerland and paid five guineas for it. The price was iniquitous, of course, but that is the name they have given it, and by the name you were misled." "And it is really not worth the quarter of that sum?" "See," said the expert. "Here is a piece of genuine applied Brussels. Do you see how the weaving threads cross and return, each time leaving a firm edge behind? Compare it with your own. The designs are much alike, for the Swiss work has taken the Brussels for its model, but look at the edges of the pattern. The texture is just ordinary lawn attached by chain stitch to the machine made net foundation. The edges are raw where the material has been cut away, and are ready to fray out and in time drop away altogether." "I see now, but I wonder that I never noticed it before," rejoined the would-be collector, and then she looked up thoroughly puzzled: "Now that I know my lace is only an applied material, how am I to tell that it is not Carrickmacross?"

Download or read book Lace and Lace Making written by Alice-May Bullock and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of lace are probably in net-work, which is referred to in the Bible and has been found in Egyptian tombs. The more elaborate forms, such as needlepoint and bobbin lace, did not appear until the fifteenth or sixteenth century. It is generally agreed that needlepoint lace was developed in Italy while bobbin lace was developed in Flanders, and it was from Flanders and other European countries that thousands of Protestants fled to England to escape religious persecution, bringing their lace making skills with them. Lace and Lace Making charts the early history of this craft, and then recounts how various European forms were adapted. The book describes how the bobbin lace industry operated, with home workers selling their work to touring lace dealers, and how this cottage industry was disastrously affected by the introduction of lace making machines in the second half of the eighteenth century. The book also talks about lace schools, their customs and holiday celebrations, the lace tells that were recited while working, the many attractive and historically interesting bobbin inscriptions, the numerous laws that were made regulating the wearing of lace and the ways that were found to circumvent these laws-such as smuggling. A great amount of detailed research has gone into producing this book, which provides a fascinating account of a once important craft industry that is now enjoying a welcome revival.
