<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2330349, member: 13464&quot;]Hi [USER=1067]@Houseful[/USER]! </p><p>OOOH! a treasure! Yes, I&#039;d say it was a Battenburg/Battenberg style tape lace. BUT, unusual in the sense that it is constructed totally of machine tapes??&nbsp; Still hand assembled; but entirely with tapes. Hard to tell for sure... but I think even those adorable little &quot;bridges&quot; (braids) with the little baubles on them are machine! Can you take a close up of the back?&nbsp; The heavy flowers featured in photo #2 are very unusual also!... very pretty for so dense! I&#039;m tempted to say that it is a hem flounce... just a leftover from a gown? Circa 1900. I can really see it highlighting a hem... with the straighter edge down and the four petal flowers up.... it is just a guess of course. But wow! Wouldn&#039;t it be stand out in that use?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
