75 X Lace
by Patricia Wardle
A balanced selection of 75 lace pieces from the rich collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Many of the museum's finest acquisitions were by 'The First Dutch Society for Lace-Lovers, Het Kantsalet', celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2000, and '75 x Lace' offers a history of lace collecting in the Rijksmuseum over the past 150 years, as well as fully illustrated details of 75 of its most beautiful and interesting pieces. These range from rare 17th-century linen collars with bobbin lace borders up to and beyond the christening set of costly Brussels needle lace used for the christening of Queen Wilhelmina and her successors. This set forms only one part of the impressive royal lace collection, which has been on loan in the Rijksmuseum since 1966
