A handbook for identifying antique and modern lace, written by Mary Sharp for collectors and owners. It surveys needle lace and pillow lace by country and type: Italian (reticella, cut-work, Venetian points, Genoese, Milanese, Maltese), Spanish, French (Alençon, Argentan, Valenciennes, Lille, Chantilly), Flemish (Brussels, Mechlin, Binche, Antwerp), and English and Irish (Honiton, Buckinghamshire, Carrickmacross), with a short section on machine-made lace. Each variety is described by its construction, grounds (réseau, brides) and history, and illustrated with photographic plates of specimens. A glossary, list of illustrations, summary and index are included.
