The very last lot of Pat Earnshaw's wonderful lace collection recently came up for sale and I bought some pieces of early bobbin lace, which I will list in the next few days.
These 2 pieces are illustrated in her 'Bobbin and Needle Laces', Batsford 1983 p.150 fig.27.2 She describes it as 'Milanese with double bars, early 18th century'. Each piece measures 18.75 ins x 6.2 ins.
