Third article in William Mathewson Milliken's series on lace history, published in Antiques in October 1922. It traces Venetian needle lace in the seventeenth century, from punto in aria to raised Venetian point and flat Venetian point (including coralline lace), and the later grounded Venetian point. It recounts how Colbert's recruitment of Venetian workers moved lace leadership to France, then discusses Milanese bobbin tape lace (punto di Milano) and its move to net grounds. Twelve captioned photographs of museum pieces, including a chasuble, chalice veil and flounces, are discussed in the text.

Second article in a series on the development of lace, from Antiques, July 1922. It traces the Italian progression from cutwork to reticella to punto in aria (needle lace), then compares the parallel development of Venetian and Genoese bobbin lace. The text draws on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century pattern books such as Ostaus, Le Pompe and Parasole, and is illustrated with fifteen figures of laces from the Cleveland Museum collections.
