Article by M. Jourdain in The Connoisseur on the early history of Italian pillow lace. It covers punto a groppo (knotted lace) as a forerunner of pillow lace, early plaited and vandyked merletti a piombini, and Genoese pillow lace including point de Gênes frisé with its wheat-grain ornament. It draws on pattern books, portraits, dictionaries and Victoria and Albert Museum specimens, and is illustrated with photographs of laces, a coverlet, and a portrait of the Duc de Montmorency.
