Second part of an article by M. Jourdain on Venetian needlepoint lace, in The Connoisseur. It discusses the brides (connecting bars) and their picot ornamentation in rose point and point de neige, and distinguishes gros point de Venise, point de neige, coraline point and point plat de Venise by design and date. It also covers uses of the lace (cravats, collars, flounces, ecclesiastical items) and the attribution of 'Spanish point'. Illustrated with specimens from the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels, a Siena fresco detail, and portraits by Sustermans showing lace collars.
