Fig. 10.-Scallopped Collar of Tape-like Pillow-made Lace.
Possibly of English early 17th-century work. Its texture is typical of a develop-
ment in pillow-lace-making later than that of the lower edge of "merletti a piom-
bini" in Pl. II. fig. 3.

Fig. 19.-Portion of flounce, needlepoint lace copied at the Burano Lace School from the original of the so-called "Point de Venise à Brides Picotées."

17th century. Formerly belonging to Pope Clement XIII., but
now the property of the queen of Italy. The design and work,
however, are indistinguishable from those of important flounces of
"Point de France.' The pattern consists of repetitions of two
vertically-arranged groups of fantastic pine-apples and vases with
flowers, intermixed with bold rococo bands and large leaf devices.
The hexagonal meshes of the ground, although similar to the Venetian
"brides picotées," are much akin to the button-hole stitched ground
of "Point d'Argentan." (Victoria and Albert Museum.)
