Antique Milanese Lace

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.

The delicate patterns, which use botanical motifs and curvaceous designs, often feature natural motifs such as flowers, leaves, and vines, giving them a decorative and elegant impression. These designs were influenced by Italian fashion and architecture styles of the time, particularly the opulence and curvaceous beauty of the Baroque style.

The steps below will be the same for other races, taking into account the historical background.

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

In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution led to the appearance of machine-made lace, and simpler, mass-produced designs became available. 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.
