thegiddystitcher, Ooh! Absolutely no idea how this was made but it's pretty!
mem_somerville_kbin, It was probably made 100 years ago, but the basic mechanism is on a pillow with bobbins in this manner: https://youtu.be/uhQbyA0y28A
It's not the same style, but the features are similar.
yourgodlucifer, bobbin lace looks so confusing to me I would for sure lose track of the bobbins.
thegiddystitcher, Aha! I've tried a bit of tatting before (not great at it but practise makes perfect) and I've crocheted some reasonably decent lace, but bobbin lace is a whole new world. So intricate, I might have to figure out how to give this a go.
mem_somerville_kbin, This is a vintage lace collar that I got at our annual lace retreat. It's a pretty typical Cantu piece, with the scroll work and floral motifs.
