Reticella lace is one of the oldest techniques among antique laces, an embroidered lace originating in Italy. This lace emerged in the early 16th century and was especially popular during the Renaissance period. Reticella developed from "drawn thread work" (a technique in which threads are removed from the fabric to create patterns), using embroidery to decorate fabric with geometric designs.
This lace can also be seen on the collars worn by noble figures in old portraits, reflecting its popularity and rich history.
