Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an informative guide to the exhibition of 19th century Italian laces, provides a captivating insight into lace history and the intricate art of lacemaking. The author presents a comprehensive overview of lace evolution from its humble origins to the complex techniques of the 19th century. Lace, a global phenomenon discussed within its broader historical context, is explored through the lens of Italy's rich cultural and artistic heritage. From the earliest forms of needlework such as embroidery and drawn-thread work, through the varied techniques of reticella, punto in aria and burano, to the exquisite skill and artistry of Venetian Point, the author traces the development of each technique and its influence on the evolution of lace design. The book not only provides a historical perspective but also discusses the social and economic factors that influenced lacemaking, as well as the impact of fashion and patronage on the development of this delicate craft.
