- Brussels / Belgian Lace - Belgium has a rich history of lace-making dating back to the 16th century, and Brussels became an important centre for lace production in the 18th and 19th centuries. The lace was made using fine threads such as linen or silk and was often decorated with intricate designs that incorporated flowers, leaves, and other motifs. The lace was made by hand, and it took many hours to complete a single piece.
The lace is made using a technique called bobbin lace, in which threads are wound onto bobbins and then woven together to create the lace. The lace is made using a pillow or cushion, on which the bobbins are held in place while the lace is being made.
Brussels lace was highly sought after and was used to decorate clothing, linens, and other household items. It was also used to make intricate and delicate decorations for churches and other public buildings.
