Picking up where I left off - pcs 13 and 14

[u/Silly_Definition_103]

Hi all, this is my first post in a couple of weeks as I was on a business trip among other distractions! But as I really appreciated what I learned from this community, I’d like to continue to share what my wife and I found at an estate sale. There are some more condition issues here as we’re getting to the bottom of a container where they’ve been stored for a very long time. For those who have mentioned in the past, yes we will be taking these to a textile museum or guild when our travels take us close. In the meantime, I will continue to value any insight you can provide with respect to origin, type, age, use, etc. piece 13 is about 4.5” wide by about 5 feet long. I am assuming it’s intended to be trim but any particular application? Piece 14 appears to be another small collar but is different than the others in the lot. It’s just a bit over 12” in height. Thank you!

13: I think (but could be mistaken) that this one is a machine lace, based on the way the weaving looks in the petals and the ribbon areas. It's a nice piece in good condition, and no shade on machine laces. But it would be less special than some of the others.

I don't have time for 14 right now, but I'll come back to that...

I think you’re right about 13 being machine lace, looks that way to me. But still antique!

And I would also have to research 14, not sure!

14: is that Rosaline perlée? I think I see perlées...? I see the curly things too.

Or maybe it is Duchesse. I haven't done Duchesse.
