Original Message:   English Lace bobbin "Spangle" beads

I recognise all these beads as typical Lace bobbin "Spangle" beads, C19th. The only Czech ones are the green moulded ones. The round smudgy-looking decorated beads are not Venetian but we think probably made in England specially for lace bobbins like the cube-shaped beads with impressed waffle textured sides, probably from pressing (marvering) against a file. They are commonly called "Square-cuts" by lacemakers. Stefany Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
