The half-stitch area at the bottom right is interesting in that the "straight" threads go lengthwise instead of across--which is supposed to be an indicator of machine-made lace (and I grant you typically is).  In Antwerp laces especially, however, if the pairs to work the half-stitch area come in from upper left and upper right, then it appears to have been worked lengthwise instead of across.
