The name "Point d'Angleterre" was given to a Flemish lace produced at the time when the law prohibiting the importation of foreign laces (in England and France) was being strictly enforced. It is a mixed technique of very fine bobbin lace (Duchesse) on a needlepoint net with needle lace motifs for the fillings. The wealth of floral designs and the fineness of the petals, pearls, and snowdrops in the appliqué work are perfectly balanced. This type of lace reached its peak in Flanders during the 19th century. 1, record 1, English, - point%20d%27Angleterre

Point d'Angleterre. Cette dentelle belge, qui représente des fleurs, des gens, des animaux et même parfois des scènes bibliques, date de la fin du 17e siècle. C'est une dentelle qui n'est pas en continu et des fils courent sur l'endos. Elle n'a pas de cordonnet de soie mais les bords des motifs étaient en relief pour les détails intérieurs, comme les séparations de feuilles ou de pétales, un détail qui la différencie des dentelles Mechlin et des autres dentelles belges. Le fond est fait d'un filet de Bruxelles (Brussels reseau) et occasionnellement avec des remplissages à l'aiguille. Son nom de «point d'Angleterre» vient de l'interdit du roi Charles II contre l'importation de dentelles étrangères pour promouvoir l'art local. En changeant son nom, elle passa facilement à la douane. 1, record 1, French, - point%20d%27Angleterre
