Need to date an estate lot of lace fabric...

[vintagefabrics]

Hello all

The lovely Nicole from Circa Vintage Clothing said the lovely people of this board could assist me...

I picked up an estate collection from a local draper/fabric store owner who had passed away. There is some lace fabric in the lot - I know fabric, but I am not that great with lace!

Can anyone assist in dating the lace, please? I can provide widths, if required I would love any assistance at all! All of the photos of the 14 laces are located at my Flickr account, here:

Hi Vanessa, I am in Australia too ;)

Lucky you- what a score! If they are pure cotton, or cotton with some rayon and/or rayon thread I would date them as 1950's to 1960's, but there may be a lace specialist amongst the guild!
Hope they do well for you!
