Morning Modelbuch (9/22/2019)

I tend to look at floral laces and think they are much later, but there are some florals in early laces like these patterns in Le Pompe that have their own interesting look. (I’m absolutely in love with the leaves and interlaced heart second from the bottom and may need to commission some for a dress trim.) _Le Pompe libro secondo_ dated 1560. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8622058x/f61.image

Here’s a lace with similarities to the top and middle patterns. Flemish or Italian 16th century bobbin lace border, accession number:09.68.74. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/218012
