Chats on Old Lace and Needlework
Emily Leigh Lowes
Collectors once hunted lace the way others hunted paintings, and Emily Leigh Lowes explains why. Her chatty survey covers the history of lace, the art of lace-making and the identification of old needlework, with a bibliography for deeper digging. Written for the amateur with sharp eyes and a modest purse. Learn to read a scrap of thread like a signature.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
