mem_somerville reviewed Antique Lace by Heather Toomer
Useful and well-described lace identification book
5 stars
This book has good quality photos, and informative descriptions, for the many types of laces you might encounter while thrifting or going through Grandma's stash.
It includes many close-up photos for a look at the details, as well as period portraits that highlight a style, and some fashion plates that illustrate the typical uses.
A friend received a box of antique laces recently and said this was among the most helpful of her sources.
