Lace and Trim Textiles

A series of decorative textile trims showcasing intricate lace patterns from the 17th to 18th century, featuring floral and geometric designs.

Strip bobbin with triangle and two bragged ovals, anonymous, c. 1900 - c. 1909 Strip of natural-colored bobbin, binche side. The pattern consists of two symmetrical compositions. One composition consists of a triangular motif with a ringed snowflake in the center. The other composition consists of two of each other alternated and schuinge -placed ovals, which are connected to each other on the underside by a slightly bent strap. The triangular motif is connected on the underside to the sluinga -plateed ovals due to a slightly wider strap of three connected round shapes. The straps and contours of the triangle are made in linen battle. The contours of the ovals are made in form. The motifs are connected by a decorative land, a ringed snowflake land. As a decorative land, a Paris soil has been used in the oval and a lace-hole-grid foundation is decorated between the ovals with staging motifs. Top and bottom of the strip are straight finished, with the bottom with picots. Normandy linen

Textiles-LacesJoined lappets third quarter 18th century French or Italian, Venice (Burano) The Metropolitan Museum's great lace collection was started when the Museum became the first among American museums to organize a permanent collection of lace with the acceptance of the McCallum Collection in 1879 and the bequests of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Robert L. Stuart, Mrs. Augustus Cleveland, and Mrs. A. W. Winters shortly thereafter. In 1893 a loan collection of antique laces shown at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago was assembled by a committee of New York women headed by Catharine Augusta Newbold. About 1900 Miss Newbold arranged and labeled an exhibition of laces and linenworks lent to the Metropolitan Museum by Mrs. James Boorman Johnstone and the Misses Johnstone. "Her scholarly knowledge of lace technique enabled the Museum for the first time to offer a comprehensive display of lace illustrating its historical development," wrote Miss Frances Morris, then curator of the textile depWoman's Sleeve Band Made 1875-1900 China.
