Guipure
Example of Guipure lace with a Torchon edge
Guipure lace is a type of bobbin lace. It connects the motifs with bars or plaits rather than net or mesh.
Guipure is a French word, which now means tape. It used to describe lace which has a gimp or thicker thread to outline the pattern, but this is no longer used.[1]
Genoese lace was a guipure lace.[2] Genoese lacemakers went to Malta to found the style of Maltese lace.[3] This later inspired the style of English lace known as Bedfordshire lace.[4]
Another guipure lace is Cluny lace, which originated in France,[5] but spread elsewhere, such as the English lacemaking areas.[6]
