1914 French Hand-knotted Lace Sample Mounted with Pattern 6 inch bone ruler with simple but bold darkBoldly graphic and very finely detailed at once, this is a 1914 hand knotted lace sample, with pattern, hand drawn on orange card and used in the process of making the lace (pin pricks everywhere) mounted below.
