Dessins nouveaux de Filet Brodé [New Designs for Filet Lace]
Dessins nouveaux de Filet Brodé [New Designs for Filet Lace]
Article · 5 pages · French
A short article from the French journal Art et Décoration (December 1909, pp. 206-210) presenting new designs for filet brodé (embroidery on netted ground) as a follow-up to an earlier article. It encourages artists to create original, stylized patterns suited to the squared grid of filet work rather than copying museum pieces. It reproduces full-page designs by Méheut (St. Peter's fish, daturas, artichokes, hollyhocks) and a figural panel by Mezzara, and announces a forthcoming study of Venetian needle lace. The article is signed Paul Mezzara.
Le Filet Brodé [Embroidered Filet]
Le Filet Brodé [Embroidered Filet]
P. Verneuil · December 1908
Article · 14 pages · French
A French article from the journal Art et Décoration (December 1908) on filet brodé, or embroidery worked on knotted square-mesh net (lacis). Paul Mezzara outlines the technique, its Renaissance history, the museum pieces and pattern books of the 16th century, and the turn-of-the-century revival that relied on copying museum photographs. He calls for new, stylized designs from artists, with advice on drawing on squared paper, stitches (point de toile, point d'esprit, wheels, stars, darning) and uses in furnishing and dress. The article is illustrated with antique filets, a plate of stitch details, and modern designs by Méheut, Binet, Mezzara and P. Verneuil; a closing note by P. V. (Verneuil) comments on the illustrations.

L'école de Dentelles de Vienne [The Lace School at Vienna]
Article · 8 pages · French
A 1903 article from the French journal Art et Décoration on the lace school in Vienna and the revival of Austrian lace after the 1900 Paris Exposition. It covers how provincial lace schools, the Museum of Art and Industry's design studio and the Kunstgewerbeschule worked together, and how Professor Hrdlicka turned lace design from copying Renaissance lace to floral motifs from nature. It describes the needle lace and bobbin lace classes at the Vienna school and comments on illustrated pieces: fans, collars, a doily, a handkerchief and borders.
Passementerie
Passementerie
Article · 14 pages · French
A French-language illustrated article on passementerie (trimmings made of braid, cord, soutache, tassels and knots), published in the journal Art et Décoration in 1908. It tries to define passementerie and set it apart from embroidery and lace. It then gives a historical survey from prehistoric and ancient peoples through the Orient, Greece and Rome to medieval and 17th-century France, followed by materials (silk, cotton, wool, raphia, metal threads, beads, spangles). It also describes techniques (sewing on paper, working on a nailed board, bench work for knots and lacs, hand-woven galons) and the four main product categories. Many plates show soutache and princesse work by designers such as P. Doizey, Keim and Bonnon-Dumoutier, with a figure of the common knots.
