  • Lace and Lacework (Textiles)
OBS

Bobbin-made lace made since the 16th century in the town of Lille, formerly in Flanders but now in northwestern France. It was notable for its very fine net background, with a hexagonal mesh in which the thread was twisted, rather than plaited. The net was often scattered with small square dots. Patterns were of conventional curving flowers and scrolls.
