[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1564047, member: 13464"]Wow! An incredible piece to be sure! I'm going to have to get back to you on some details after I do a bit of research myself... but "generally" speaking: It does indeed look handmade. It "does" look quite old....the sheer size does indicate that it took hundreds of hours to complete. Generally speaking - the more a lace looks like "fabric" with less holes and more woven areas - the older it may be. It is not crochet. Can you clarify: Are any of the edges - fabric or lace "cut"... indicating that it was larger? Is the linen that the lace attached to - a "finished" size? (like appropriate for a table or altar cloth; and the lace drops straight off the edges without gathers or folds?) I'll go check some of my resources and get back with you! Fun find! Leslie[/QUOTE]
