A review from the journal Art et Décoration (1909) of the design competition held by the Société de la Dentelle de France and exhibited at the Pavillon de Marsan. The competition covered four objects: a scarf, a handkerchief, a tea tablecloth and a cushion. The author discusses the entries from the lace schools of Argentan and Le Puy and from individual designers (Mmes Berthelot, Bunoust, Gabert, Durand, de Lonlay, and M. Raybaud), commenting on composition, balance, motifs and technique (point d'Irlande, point de Venise, gold lace). It is illustrated with halftone photographs of the prize pieces.
