Encyclopedia entry on lace (dentelle) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré, in French. It defines lace and its figurative uses, then describes needle lace (Alençon, Argentan, Brussels, England) and bobbin lace (Valenciennes, Malines, Chantilly, blonde), the tools of bobbin lacemaking, machine-made imitation lace, and the history of lace from the 15th to the early 20th century. A full plate shows 24 captioned lace samples, and a further page illustrates a lace pillow, a bobbin winding stand, and Metsu's painting The Lacemaker.
