No. 28 Honiton Guipure Lace
No. 28 shows a beautiful specimen of Honiton guipure lace, designed and worked by Mrs. Treadwin, of Exeter, who has done more to win a taste for artistic, natural forms than any other English lace designer. The lace exhibited by Mrs. Treadwin in 1862 fully sustained the reputation of Honiton lace, and bore comparison with the most beautiful productions of France and Belgium.
The specimen of guipure lace No. 28 is composed of various sprigs of natural flowers and leaves joined on the pillow with purling. Common Honiton guipure is joined with purling worked by the yard and sewn on, instead of being worked in on the pillow, as in this specimen.
