A famous type of bobbin lace that originated in the Binche region of Belgium.
It enjoyed great acclaim throughout Europe, especially from the 17th to the 18th centuries.
One of the distinctive elements is the extremely fine hexagonal mesh, sometimes called the "Brussels Ground", which gives the lace a sense of lightness and transparency, as well as the painterly design, which is another unique feature.
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.
