All, I wound up in a wonderful conversation with Laurel Victoria Gray today about Persian lace, found out I own some, and know I need to know MORE! I was hoping that Shanazel or one of the other experts in textiles could help me:
What are other terms for "Persian Lace"?
What resources discuss its history, use, ethnic background, manufacture, etc?
What makes something "Persian lace" or not? I have seen evidence of a plastic metallic fiber interwoven into tulle and need more criteria.
What patterns have you seen used in the design? I have seen scallops and peacock eyes.
Here is the sample from my collection for reference.
Regards,
PD
