A two-page French encyclopedia entry on lace (dentelle). It briefly defines bobbin lace and describes the lace pillow (carreau) with its drum and pricked parchment, shown in an engraving (Fig. 646), then notes needle lace. Most of the text covers machine-made lace: the tulle machine, the Pusher vertical tulle loom with Jacquard control, the machine-made guipure for furnishings from 1850, the net ground (fond filet) of 1872, copies of Venetian point and Cluny guipures, and colored and embroidered finishing.
