Flowery machine lace with gimp on one side

The two sides are different, with the gimps only showing on one side. The threads run through pattern and net (rather than the pattern being embroidered on top of the net) but you can see that the filled in areas are not normal cloth stitch.

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.
