  • Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of Terms Used in the Documentation – Blue Files and Collection Notebooks
    Book Appendix Glossary 12-02 Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of terms used in the documentation – Blue files and collection notebooks. Rosemary Shepherd: 1983 to 2003 The following references were used in the documentation. For needle laces: Therese de Dillmont, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Needlework, Running Press reprint, Philadelphia, 1971 For bobbin laces: Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott, The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, A H & A W Reed, Sydney, 1980 The principal historical reference: Santina Levey, Lace a History, Victoria and Albert Museum and W H Maney, Leeds, 1983 In compiling the glossary reference was also made to Alexandra Stillwell’s Illustrated dictionary of lacemaking, Cassell, London 1996 General lace and lacemaking terms A border, flounce or edging is a length of lace with one shaped edge (headside) and one straight edge (footside). The headside shaping may be as insignificant as a straight or undulating line of picots, or as pronounced as deep ‘van Dyke’ scallops. ‘Border’ is used for laces to 100mm and ‘flounce’ for laces wider than 100 mm and these are the terms used in the documentation of the Powerhouse collection. The term ‘lace edging’ is often used elsewhere instead of border, for very narrow laces. An insertion is usually a length of lace with two straight edges (footsides) which are stitched directly onto the mounting fabric, the fabric then being cut away behind the lace. Ocasionally lace insertions are shaped (for example, square or triangular motifs for use on household linen) in which case they are entirely enclosed by a footside. See also ‘panel’ and ‘engrelure’ A lace panel is usually has finished edges, enclosing a specially designed motif.

  • Lace, Its Origin and History
    *fe/m/e/Z. Ge/akrtfarp SSreniano 's 7?ew 2/or/c 1904 Copyrighted, 1904, BY Samuel L. Goldenberg. — Art library "I have here only a nosegay of culled flowers, and have brought nothing of my own but the thread that ties them together." Montaigne. HE task of the author of this work has not been an attempt to brush the dust of ages from the early history of lace in the •^ hope of contributing to the world's store of knowledge on the subject. His purpose, rather, has been to present to those whose rela- tion to lace is primarily a commercial one a compendium that may, perchance, in times of doubt, serve as a practical guide. Though this plan has been adhered to as closely as possible, the history of lace is so interwoven with life's comedies and tragedies, extending back over five centuries, that there must be, here and there in the following pages, a reminiscent tinge of this association. Lace is, in fact, so indelibly associated with the chalets perched high on mountain tops, with little cottages in the valleys of the Appenines and Pyrenees, with sequestered convents in provincial France, with the raiment of men and women whose names loom large in the history of the world, and the futile as well as the successful efforts of inventors to relieve tired eyes and weary fingers, that, no matter how one attempts to treat the subject, it must be colored now and again with the hues of many peoples of many periods. The author, in avowing his purpose to give this work a practical cast, does not wish to be understood as minimizing the importance of any of the standard works compiled by those whose years of study and research among ancient volumes and musty manuscripts in many tongues have been a labor of love.

Special thanks to Ann Geddes for advice and editing, Sue Miller and Marg Harbaugh for letting me use their libraries and Susan Banbury for the Princess Lace Loom photos. My membership in the International Old Lacers, Inc. has been instrumental in my journey through the world of lace. Kathy Kozoloski, the IOLI librarian provided many beautiful and informative books. Irma Osterman, the needle lace editor for the IOLI Bulletin, generously allowed me to use her beautiful Youghal lace fan pattern and suggested books for further study. She also provided a photo of a lace she owns that was made by Native Americans. Tamara Duvall and Susie Johnson, both IOLI members, generously provided designs and advice. I have met many wonderful people all over the world through IOLI and I treasure their friendships. I would like to thank Dr. David Rankin at Winthrop University for his advice and editing, and my son, Clinton Chase, for much needed technical assistance. 4 The World in Lace The study of textiles provides a glimpse into the lives of people, especially women, of our and other times. Which clothing was worn, when, why, how, and by whom it was produced all tell of the social values at that time in history.

  • The Power of Lace by Gil Dye
    The Power of Lace by Gil Dye This image appeared on page 3 of The Times in September 2013. The article is about a proposal by the University of London to sell a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. The folio frontispiece has a portrait of Shakespeare with a totally plain collar, however the dominant portrait is one that has absolutely no link with the folio, but it does have lacei and the picture editor would have been well aware that lace attracts attention and more lace attracts more attention. This is the position today as it has been since lace first appeared on portraits in the mid 1500s. For most of The Times, 4 September 2013 those 450+ years lace has wielded a power that is totally out of all proportion to what is no more than a network of fragile threads. The Beginning The portrait above and this one of Lady Dorothy Done were both painted around 1610 by which time lace was firmly established as a fashion fabric and an important marker of the wealth and status of the wearer. Lady Done has white linen lace as a ruff and around her neckline and wrists, while her bodice, sleeves and skirt are decorated with long lengths of a simple gold lace. The gold lace and the lace of the ruff are bobbin lace; the lace on her cuffs and that around her neck are needlelace.ii Bobbin lace and needle lace are considered to be the two classic laces; both evolving during the 1500s. The origins and techniques are very different, but by the end of the century the finished effects were often surprisingly similar.

  • Lace Classification System
    LACE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM © Rosemary Shepherd 2003 Powerhouse Museum, Sydney © Rosemary Shepherd 2003 Powerhouse Museum, Sydney LACE - DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION Introduction When I came to the Museum in 1983 most of the lace collection had no documentation beyond its original brief entry in the stock books. Because there had been so little work done on the lace it seemed an ideal opportunity to give serious thought to its exact nature and provide not only a definition but also a theoretical framework for its documentation in the form of a classification system.This seemed both possible and desirable given the discrete nature of the lace collection and the complex and varied techniques it encompassed. Furthermore, a theoretical framework would both simplify and clarify the documentation process. In the museum context a classification system is essentially a tool for understanding a particular subject or collecting area. A definition of that subject is needed before decisions can be made about how to classify the objects within it. Everyone thinks they know what lace is, but describing it unambiguously is not so easy. Those who make lace assume that any fabric produced using a lacemaking technique is automatically lace, but such techniques are used in many interesting contemporary textiles that are too dense to be called lace. On the other hand, those who are not makers invariably have a very fixed idea of lace based on its traditional forms, regardless of the way it is made. The definition of lace as a decorative openwork fabric in which the pattern of spaces is as important as the solid areas1 is not only appropriate for historic and traditional lace, but also takes into account current and future developments in technique and expression.

  • BOBBIN TAPE LACES an Essay by Doris O'neill, Orland Park, Illinois a Member of L.A.C.E
    BOBBIN TAPE LACES An essay by Doris O'Neill, Orland Park, Illinois A member of L.A.C.E. Guild, which meets in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. I have been asked to explain “The Differences Among Bobbin Tape Laces.” So, first, it is important that we define exactly what Bobbin Tape Laces are. Confusion arises, again, because of terminology used in describing lace . We are NOT considering the laces made with a length of machine-made tape combined with bobbin stitches or with needle and thread. Here is one such simple tape lace. This use of the term tape lace would also include such laces as Battenberg, “modern lace”, Branscombe. This is the sort of lace which is described in a recent IOLI article.* This is NOT Bobbin Tape Lace. One lace term can have so many different meanings . For example, at one of our lace gatherings, a lacemaker working from one book asked innocently “Exactly what IS whole stitch”, precipitating a discussion among us about our understanding of that term as c-t-c-t, or ctc or tctc , depending on which book or teacher first introduced us to making lace. So, to be clear, we only want to discuss the type of tape lace made ENTIRELY WITH BOBBINS. Even in discussing ONLY this use of the term “tape lace”, confusion arises. Various authors have tried to create a more uniform term to describe “tape lace”. One valiant attempt is made by Veronica Sorenson when she rejects the term entirely in reference to bobbin lace, and substitutes “Braid Lace'” for “Tape Lace” She also uses the term “sectional lace” rather than “tape lace” Other authors call this same category of bobbin lace “part lace”.

    Identifying Hand-made Lace DATS in partnership with the V&A Identifying hand-made lace Text copyright © all authors involved Image copyrights as specified in each section This booklet has been produced to accompany workshops of the same name held at The Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, and The Burrell Collection, Glasgow in February 2013, and at The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle in November 2013. We hope to repeat the workshops at other museums. The workshop is one of a series produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A, funded by the Arts Council England’s Subject Specialists Network fund. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections, and make them accessible to the widest audiences. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying textile materials and techniques. This booklet will share knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public.
