Descripción
Needle lace produced in Brussels since the 15th century. It was originally inspired by Spanish and Venetian lace. It is characterized by a fine flax thread produced in Brabant, and a simple open buttonhole background, generally without bars or brides, upon which was worked a thick cordonnet and other raised work in floral or other designs.
