Object/Artifact
One 20” length and 2 more pieces about 16” long joined at sides to form - probably - a sleeve frill. Seems to be cotton (puzzling under microscope). Fond plain, heavy plied gimp, seems to be Bucks lace.Karen Augusta:Bucks bobbin lace has a fond simple reseau and toile designs executed in a naïve pattern. The toile has a raised cordonnet and often has distinctive honey comb fillings, as found in the upper blossoms edging these 3 pieces.
