Report on the Needle and Bobbin Club's exhibition of historic laces and jewels, held in November 1925 in Pierre Cartier's galleries in New York. It summarizes Professor Louis Loiseaux's opening lecture on the history of jewelry design, from Greek and Roman work through the Renaissance to Louis XVI and Cartier. It then lists the jewels and laces lent by members and institutions, many made for royalty (Marie-Louise, Eugénie, Maria Theresa, Marie Leczinska). Photographs show display cases, a carved ivory and Argentan lace fan, and a flounce of Point de France.
