The first part of an article on the history of lace in Spain and Portugal, with most of the discussion on gold and silver lace known as point d'Espagne. It draws on literary, court and travel references, sumptuary laws and portraits to show how widely Spanish dress used gold and silver lace. It also argues that Spain relied on imported Flemish and Italian lace. Illustrations show a pillow-lace-edged napkin, Italian or Spanish red silk embroidered linen borders and a Point de Venise ('Spanish Point') sample.
