The History of Lace

by Margaret Simeon

The author presents her extensive and comprehensive personal collection of quality lace put together by her over forty years. These, together with her well informed text, illustrate and describe the evolution and various styles of lace from early beginnings in the 16th century until the laces of the 19th - including the richness of the 17th century Baroque, the Classical Revival of the 18th.

A must for anyone who appreciates the beauty of lace over the centuries.
