  • Silk bobbin lace flat cap, possibly made in Caen, France, ca. 1860 (en)
  • The French town of Caen specialised in coloured silk lace. This cap with lappets may have been made there. Its combination of black and coloured lace is typical of handmade and machine-made laces in the 1850s and 1860s. Black lace became very fashionable from about the 1850s. The trend was reinforced by the Empress EugĂ©nie of France, who loved wearing lace and particularly favoured black. Black silk bobbin lace was a major part of production in northern France and an important industry in Spain. The machine-made lace industry also developed to meet demand. Much of the machine lace that survives from the 19th century is black in imitation of French hand-made bobbin lace. Some of it is of very high quality and design. (en)
  • Bobbin lace flat cap. Made in one piece with long lappets falling on either side of the diamond-shaped headpiece. Bobbin lace in the Chantilly technique worked with black grenadine silk in twist net, half and honeycomb stitches. Clusters of flower-heads on the crown of the headpiece and at the centres and ends of the lappets are worked in dense clothstitch in bright blue silk with yellow centres. (en)
