A French article by L. Deshairs from the journal Art et Décoration (August 1906) reviewing the exhibition of old and modern lace held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Pavillon de Marsan) in Paris in 1906. It covers the revival efforts for handmade lace, cautions on dating, naming, forgeries and composite pieces, and surveys needle lace (point coupé, Venice, point de France, Sedan, Alençon, Argentan) and bobbin lace (Genoa, Binche, Malines, Valenciennes, Chantilly, blonde, Flemish application d'Angleterre). It also touches on 19th-century Alençon, Brussels appliqué, machine lace and the lace industry's crisis, and ends with a bibliography. Illustrated throughout with photographs of pieces from private collections and the museum.
