Description
Excerpt from Needle-Made Laces
Under the name of needle-made laces are comprised all laces made with thread with the help of a pattern and with a needle as sole implement.
This kind of extremely artistic work is of Italian origin; it dates from the 16th century and may be regarded as an outcome of open - work on linen.
The earliest specimens closely resemble the handsome Open - work on linen known as Reticella, the name being still used for needle - made laces of geometrical design, with square divisions.
