<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 837790, member: 2844&quot;]It doesn&#039;t look like Valenciennes to me. Although Valenciennes is delicate, it is still one of the Dutch-Flemish group of laces, even though the town is now part of France. Flemish means it is intricate but has &#039;bones&#039; to support the finer, delicate details. You can feel the raised edges of the thicker outlines when you gently slide your hand over it.</p><p>Your doily looks like all parts are the same thickness, and the same height when laid flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some examples of Valencijn/Valencienne(s):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.catawiki.nl%2Fassets%2F2017%2F10%2F13%2Fd%2F0%2F5%2Fd05d0bfa-3165-4356-b61d-792606197ff3.jpg&amp;sp=b823a00e4da025673b77cd45cd0846e4" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dbnl.org%2Ftekst%2F_els001190401_01%2F_els001190401ill0140.gif&amp;sp=9395c9e78a3435d44dd595f80fb11923" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.lokk.nl/images/kantarchief/KB12001/kb1a44.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.beversekantschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/valenciennes3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some textile historians differentiate between the original Dutch-Flemish name Valencijn and the later French spelling of Valencienne and Valenciennes to indicate the period of the piece in question. Hence the different spelling. As a type it is a Flemish lace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
