I tend to focus on the first section of Mignerak with all the pictorial lacis designs, but there are some really pretty bobbin lace designs mixed in there. Matthias Mignerak _La Pratique de l’Aiguille_ dated 1605 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354009
I was rather fascinated by this Italian fragment of silk lace in the Cooper Hewitt dated between the 16th and 17th century. Not only is it silk, but it was dyed red. Object number 18474543, donated by Marian Hague. http://cprhw.tt/o/2CFQB/
While the red lace isn’t a match for the patterns in Mignerak, there are some similarities, so I decided to share them together.
