For those who love hand made lace.
Early Bobbin Lace
Information
Early Bobbin Lace is the lace designed up until the mid 17th century, or approximately 1650. These early laces were often made freehand, but they are not the same as what has become known as the peasant free hand laces of many regions. All aspects of early lace are welcome for discussion here, including revival era laces, publications new and old, materials, etc.

Lena Dahren, Med kant av guld och silver, En studie av knypplade barder och uddar av meetall 1550-1640, This study examines bobbin-made borders and edgings in gold and silver during the period 1550-1640. The Swedish collections that were studied are unusually well provenanced, which is very important when studying lace, as there were so many copies of lace made in the 19th century. It is a dissertation presented to Uppsala Universitet in 2010. It is in Swedish, but there are so many beautiful color photos and diagrams that it is still a useful book for the non-Swedish speaker, although it would be even more useful if it were to be translated. One thing that sets it apart is that the author is a skilled lacemaker as well as a scholar. The address given for distribution is guld.silver.kant@gmail.com but Lena informs me that the only dealer who carries it is Barbara Fay Verlag so potential buyers should contact Barbara Fay Verlag.

I have it. Lots and lots of eye-candy; even if you don't know a word of Swedish you can spend hours with this book. Lots of photos of historic laces give a really good idea of how metallics were used, a couple of dozen drawings of patterns and plenty of photos that are clear enough for an experienced lacemaker to make the pattern from the photo.

Yes, it is a fantastic book! It is in Swedish, but has a lot of pictures and a small synopsis in English. This was Lena's thesis/dissertation.Kim

Laces by an SCA member. Some from old books, some from museum collections.

This collection of laces at the Philadelphia Museum of Art are mostly quite old -- some 16th century and some 17th century (with a mixture of more modern laces). Take the geographical designations with a grain of salt. The photos could be better, but still a good resource for very old laces.

Yes, I got into Gil's class and it was Fantastic!!! I had a Ball!!!!!
But that was almost a year ago! Wow, where has the time gone? I bought all 3 of her latest Early Laces books, and I now see #4 is available. They are so full of interesting bits of history, etc as well as patterns and instructions - they are gems!
I am trying to find her website, - but the URL has been lost. Could someone please give me the link. It is "early laces" or something like that, - but Goggle does not seem to be able to find it for me. Grrr!!

Thank you Kim.
I can't see where Kim's message is on here, though the link brought me to this page, - but not the message. that has happened a couple of times recently, though.
I am booked in - Hopefully!!!_- to Gil Dye's class - mornings only - and hoping fervently to get in the class. Sounds like those who asked for it will get it. Hooray!!! (Just so long as there are enough of us to have the class go ahead!!)
