Blonde lace is
a silk bobbin lace that was widely loved from the late 18th century through the 19th century, particularly in France and Spain. It is characterized by its pale color, sheen, and delicate designs, and it was extremely popular among women of the upper classes.
There are versions made with lustrous cream-colored silk and versions made with black silk thread. Blonde lace made with black silk thread was used for mourning attire and formal events in 19th-century Europe.
The following historical background applies in the same way to other laces as well. ↓
Lace from the 18th century was marked by intricate handwork and strong symbolic significance within aristocratic society, and it was technically very advanced.
In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution led to the emergence of machine-made lace, and simpler designs suited to mass production also increased. Floral and leaf patterns remained popular, but decoration became even more elaborate, and as the variety of lace types and styles expanded, it also spread among ordinary people, broadening its range of uses.
