I recently bought some wonderful lace from a Paris auction house, all from the collection of one un-named lady (Madame X in the catalogue!).   I will be listing some pieces in the next few weeks.

This is a length of linen bobbin lace, probably Flemish and could be quite early. Bottom border a later addition.  Excellent and clean condition, probably unused.  76 ins long. 4 ins wide. Back shows threads carried across motifs.

 Laurie Waters, in this week's Lace News dates this as probably late 18th / early 19th century.
