Help with wide border lace please

I was on here a couple years ago, and have just gotten back to some of my stored lace. I cannot for the life of me figure out this piece...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

also can not remember if I am suppose to do thumbnails or full sized.

 

Full Image, Jana, so your photographs are easier for everyone to see.

Regarding ....?
What it is? (table runner? center piece of an unfinished table cloth?)
What the use of those rings (picots) on the sides are? (decoration/to attach it to other fabric?)
When/where it was made? (no idea ...)
How it was made? (with a lot of skill and patience )

 

Jana, you forgot to tell us the size.

Looks more like a very patient machine to me.

Hi everyone!
Well, THAT is unusual! In all my years I've never seen ANY lace that has such a thick, almost braided, filling in one of the design elements! It is really quite striking! It looks like a wide 6"? 7"? insertion edging and it looks like it is the "top side" to me. It would be cool to see the back side also. I'm guessing the back "looks" like the back.

And YES - @Any Jewelry - you are quite correct... machine made. As for when it was made...a rough guess would be sometime in the late 20's or 1930's.

A cool piece anyway - even if it is machine!
Cheerio, Leslie

 

Pretty! Looks like chemical lace.

 

Certainly could be @bluumz...

 

It took a lot of skill and patience to make the machine

 

thank you all, I figured probably chemical lace, but just didnt know if it had a "name"

 

Chemical lace is also known as "Schiffli" lace.
Cheerio,
Leslie
