notes: label: Description
content: This cuff was made by combining three strips of bobbin lace to make a gathered cuff. The main lace is a point ground lace with floral motifs. This style is sometimes called Regency Point with the outline thread “gimp” is on inside of the motifs. The fillings consist of honeycomb with tallies. The main lace has been cut from a longer piece, and bordered with narrow edgings at both ends, and gathered to two strips of simple point ground laces. The original lace was possibly made during the Regency period from 1811 to 1820.
