<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1566447, member: 13464"]Oh, and a P.S. - If indeed, the query piece "fits" an exact style structure; as in a altar (and the lace hangs as a flat "skirt" rather than a gathered skirt or falling as a tablecloth) ... the few examples I found: all point to it being an alter skirt and with an early 1600's-ish date. Although the method of construction and design may vary...the fact that, likely a piece like this would be VERY labor intensive and therefore; a faster form of construction may have superseded itself in later alter pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
