It belongs to the bobbin lace (lace made by hand using a bobbin with thread wound around it), and the technique developed especially in the Milan region. Starting in the late 16th century, lace was used extensively in the production of luxurious costumes and accessories, and was especially popular from the 17th to 18th centuries.

18th century lace was highly technical, elaborately handcrafted, and carried strong symbolic meaning within aristocratic society.

Floral and leafy patterns remained popular, but the decoration became more luxurious, and the variety of types and styles of lace expanded, becoming more popular among the general public and its uses became more widespread.
