Chapter XVII: Part 2: , 24 ff. Same decorated frontispiece and 22 plates of subjects in (2)

Text size

_Cartisane._ A strip of parchment or vellum covered with silk or gold or metal thread, used to form a pattern.

_Close Stitch_ = Buttonhole stitch.

_Cordonnet._ The outline to ornamental forms. The cordonnet consists (1) of a single thread, or (2) of several threads worked together to give the appearance of one large thread, or (3) of a thread or horsehair overcast with buttonhole stitches. In England called _gimp_.

_Couronnes._ Ornaments to the cordonnet. When they ornament the raised cordonnet in the body of the pattern they are known as _fleurs volantes_.

_Coxcombs_ = Bars.

_Dentélé_ = Scalloped border.

_Droschel._ Flemish word used in Belgium for net-ground made with bobbins.

_Dressed Pillow._ A term used by bobbin-lace makers to intimate that all accessories necessary are in their proper positions.[1373]

{504}_Edge._ There are two edges to lace; the outer, which in trimmings and flounces is either scalloped or ornamented with picots, and the _engrêlure_ or _footing_.

_Engrêlure_ = Footing, or heading, of a lace, used to sew the lace on to the material it is to decorate.

_Entoilage._ French term for a plain mesh ground or galloon.[1374]

_Fil de Crin._ A thick or heavy outline or cordonnet.[1374]

_Fil de Trace._ The name by which the outlines of needle-made laces are distinguished.[1374]

_Fillings._ A word occasionally used for _modes_ or _jours_; fancy stitches employed to fill in enclosed spaces in needle-made and bobbin laces.[1374]

_Flax._ Is composed of the filaments of the fibrous portion of _Linum usitatissimum_, an annual, native of Europe, and from it linen thread is spun. That of Flanders is the best for lace-making.

_Fleurs Volantes._ See _Couronnes_.

_Fond._ Identical with _champ_, _entoilage_, and _treille_. The groundwork of needle-point or bobbin lace as distinct from the toilé or pattern which it surrounds and supports. Grounds are divided into _fonds claires_, _brides claires_, and _brides ornées_. The _fond claires_ include the _Réseau_ or net-patterned grounds. _Fond de Neige_ is also known as _Oeil de Perdrix_.

_Fond Simple._ Sometimes called _Point de Lille_; is the purest, lightest, and most transparent of all grounds. The sides of the meshes are not partly plaited as in Brussels and Mechlin, nor wholly plaited as in Valenciennes and Chioggia; but four of the sides are formed by twisting two threads round each other, and the remaining two sides by simply crossing of the threads over each other. [See _Grounds_.][1374]

_Footing._ See _Engrêlure_.

_Gimp._ The _pattern_ which rests on the ground or is held together by brides. The work should not, however be confounded with the material gimp, which was formerly called _guipure_.

In Honiton and the Midlands, the word denotes the coarse glazed thread used to raise certain edges of the design.[1374]

_Gingles._ A name given in Buckinghamshire, etc., to the bunches of coloured beads hung on to bobbins by means of brass wire, in order to give extra weight and so increase the tension of the threads.[1374]

{505}_Groppo_ [Italian]. A knot or tie.

_Grounds._ The grounds of laces are divided into two classes, one being called the _bride_, the other the _Réseau_. The _bride_ ground is formed with plain or ornamental bars, in order to connect the ornaments forming the pattern. The _Réseau_ ground is a net made with the needle or with bobbins, to connect the ornaments forming the pattern.

_Guipure._ A lace-like trimming of twisted threads. The word is now used to loosely describe many laces of coarse pattern. _Guipure d'Art_ is the name given to modern darned netting.[1375]

_Heading_ = _Footing_, _engrêlure_.

_Jours._ Ornamental devices occurring in various parts of a piece of lace. The earliest forms of _jours_ may be seen in Venetian point lace, where they are introduced into the centre of a flower or other such device. [_Modes_ are identical with _jours_.]

_Legs_ = Bars.

_Mat_, or _Math_. The closely-plaited portions of flowers or leaves in bobbin-made lace; also the closely-worked portion of any lace.[1375]

_Modes._ See _Jours_.

_Oeil de Perdrix._ See _Fond_.

_Orris._ A corruption of Arras. The term is now used to denote galloon for upholstering purposes. In the eighteenth century it was applied to laces of gold and silver.[1375]

_Passement._ Until the seventeenth century, laces, bands, and gimps were called _passements à l'aiguille_; bobbin laces, _passements au fuseau_. At present the word denotes the pricked pattern on parchment upon which both needle-point and bobbin laces are worked.

_Passementerie._ Now used for all kinds of fringes, ribbons, and gimp for dress trimmings.

_Pearls_, or _Purls_ = _Bars_.

_Pearl edge_, or _Purl edge_. A narrow thread edge of projecting loops used to sew upon lace as a finish to the edge.[1375]

_Pearlin_, or _Pearling_ [Scotch]. Lace.

_Picot._ Minute loops worked on to the edge of a _bride_ or _cordonnet_, or added as an enrichment to a flower--as in the case of rose point, in which _picots_ play an important part.

{506}_Pillow Lace._ Lace made on the pillow, by twisting and plaiting threads. The French term is _dentelle au fuseau_.

_Pizzo_ [Italian]. Lace.

_Ply_ = A single untwisted thread.

_Point Lace._ Lace made with the point of the needle. The French term is _Point à l'aiguille_. The term point has been misused to describe varieties of lace, such as _Point d'Angleterre_, _Point de Malines_, etc., which are laces made on the pillow, and not with the point of the needle.

_Point de Raccroc._ A stitch used by lace-makers to join _réseau_ ground.

_Point Noué_ = Buttonhole stitch.

_Point Plat._ A French term for flat point executed without a raised cordonnet or outline cord.[1376]

_Pricked._ The term used in pillow lace-making to denote the special marking out of the pattern upon parchment.

_Pricker._ A short instrument used in bobbin lace to prick holes in the pattern to receive the pins.[1376]

_Punto a Feston_ = Buttonhole stitch.

_Purls_ = _Brides_.

_Purlings_ = A stitch used in Honiton guipure to unite the bobbin-made sprigs.[1376]

_Réseau._ Ground of small regular meshes made on the pillow in various manners, and made by the point of the needle in fewer and less elaborate manners. The French term, as here given, is generally used in preference to any English equivalent.

_Réseau Rosacé._ See _Argentella_ (Ch. ARGENTAN).

_Rouissage._ The process of steeping the flax preparatory to its being spun for lace-making.

_Rezél_, _Reseuil._ See LACIS, Chap. II.

_Runners._ The name by which the bobbins which work across a pattern in bobbin lace are known.

_Sam cloth._ Old name for a sampler.
