An article from The Connoisseur by M. Jourdain on the origins and history of lacis, the darned-net lace descended from drawn-thread work. It traces early references (Skelton, the Exeter Inventory, Quentell's 1527 pattern book) and discusses the pattern books of Vinciolo, Vavassore and Parasole. It also compares German, Italian, Spanish and French lacis and cites examples in the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Musée de Cluny and elsewhere. Illustrated with two Italian sixteenth-century pieces.
