Comments: Brussels bobbin lace with
insets of Point de Gaz needlelace is called either Duchesse lace or
mixed Brussels lace. The bobbin lace is very clearly worked with flower
and foliage designs. The Point de Gaz tilted oval medallions each have a
single rose within the center. A beautiful piece of late 19th century
lace.
