A short note from The Connoisseur describing a lace-makers' stool used by pillow-lace workers. The author recounts meeting lace-makers at Lavendon near Bedford, who earned about a halfpenny per hour. He then describes the stool, which seats four workers, with water-filled glass globes on uprights that focus the light of a single central candle onto each worker's lace. A line drawing of the stool is included.
