Antique
lace is a fascinating subject that can be studied at many levels.
Our
initial aim on this website is to concentrate on the sort of lace that it is still
possible to find in antique shops and markets, rather than just on museum
pieces.
Pictures of all sorts
of antique lace are being added to the Gallery of Lace and Linens. In the
Costume Gallery you will also get a chance to see
how lace was actually
worn, on garments from various periods. In our Shop
you can often see examples of antique lace and linens. Fun
to look at, even if you don't buy them!
There will also
be occasional articles about lace. The first article,
about Lace Scarves, has already been added to the site.
Below you will also see that there is a Fact
File about one specific type of lace.
We hope that with
the information and pictures on the site you will soon be able to identify all sorts
of old laces. Do ask us any questions you might have.
