Maline Laces, White |
French "Maline" or "Mechlin" lace was originally made by hand in the town of Mechlin, Belgium. Definition from www.oldandsold.com: "Mechlin—This is the most supple of all laces and connoisseurs rank it very high. It is sometimes called Maline. It is a bobbin lace of filmy flowers (the favorite being the rose and the carnation) and ornaments outlined with a narrow flat band or cord, on a fine net hexagonal or round mesh resembling Brussels pillow lace. The mesh is the daintiest made and is sometimes ornamented with dots."Please note: All measurements are approximate and may vary with each shipment we receive. |
