<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4395238, member: 13464&quot;]Photos #14 and 15</p><p>Item 6 - straight edge</p><p><br /></p><p>By the width: at least 6&quot;?&nbsp; probably part of a flounce</p><p>Looking at photo #15. The lighter color &quot;snowflaky flower&quot; and attached netting are hand needle lace and the darker surrounding area of flowers are all hand bobbin elements.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you refer to the first piece of lace in photo #1... both constructed using the same methods. Point de Gaze / Mixed Brussels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although a pretty piece; but, you can see the quality of workmanship and design don&#039;t compare with #1!</p><p><br /></p><p>This one was probably worked much later when they were competing with machine made pieces... 1880-1890.&nbsp; Therefore, time was everything...they had to pump it out as fast as they could to try to compete. It was a loosing battle. Sadly.</p><p><br /></p><p>And last but not least... </p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
