La restauration de la dentelle a Venise et l'école de Burano

Verhaegen, Pierre · 1902 · Bruxelles : J. Goemaere · 3 pictures

A 1902 Brussels publication by Pierre Verhaegen, issued by J. Goemaere, that documents the revival of Venetian lace and the Burano lace school for a readership of lacemakers, collectors and lace historians. Its three plates reproduce lace panels as white patterns on black grounds, with fine scrolling vines, rosettes and dense needlepoint textures a designer could draw on for ornamental borders, textile repeats or botanical line work.
