Embroidered lace
The pattern is embroidered onto net, with gimps round. The net has been cut. The two sides look different.
The piece has a label pinned to it saying "1½ yds for 2/9¾" which has been crssed out and "2/3½" substituted. The original price was 2 shillings, 9 pence 3 farthings. The farthing was demonitarised in 1961. The equivant in 'modern money' would be 14 pence.
This lace came from my aunt Margaret Packe (nee Drake). She said that the older pieces came from her grandmother, Ellen Buchanan (nee Barwise) born 1868.
Machine made.
