About this book
Lace, Its Origin and History is a book by Samuel L. Goldenberg. The text says its author’s purpose has been to present, to those whose relation to lace is primarily a commercial one, a compendium that may, perchance, in times of doubt, serve as a practical guide. The text says that, perhaps, all things considered, the lace industry received its greatest impetus during the period known in history as the Renaissance.
The text describes a costly lace hand-made by the women of the Island of Fayal, one of the Azores, with thread spun from the fiber of the leaves of the aloe. An entry for False Valenciennes gives, as one meaning, lace resembling Valenciennes in surface and in pattern, but without the true Valenciennes net ground. The text says that from 300 to 1,200 bobbins were required in a piece of fine work.
