This is a very handsome design combining the lily and the rose. The
foundation work is made with unbleached linen braid having an ornamental
edge, and the filling-in is done with fine and coarse linen thread in
various stitches. Raleigh bars with picots define the upper edge of the
edging, and Sorrento bars on which buttons are worked form the ground
work.
Point de Grecque, point d'Angleterre, d'Alencon bars plain and twisted,
point de Bruxelles and "spiders" are also used in making this lace, as
will be seen from a close inspection of the engraving.
This specimen of lace is very handsome when developed in black silk
braids and silk thread, for black costumes.
