soldThe lace that I've rendered in the picture is so exquisite in real life. I found it in an antique shop nearby and it had a tag on it that said it was from 1971. Wouldn't that make it vintage? Otherwise that would make me an antique!!! Yikes! Anyhow, even though I have a background in needlework design/instruction I am uncertain what kind of lace this is; perhaps a type of bobbin lace work? If you think you recognize it please leave a comment, I would really appreciate it.
You can be sure that you will be seeing this lace in some of my future works.
Here is a detail image of the lace. Please note that this is much larger than the actual size of the original.

It is really too far away for me to tell but I would say it is a form of needlelace. There are lots of types of needlelace & there would be other people who would know which type this is.
I believe you have accurately identified the lace Jenny! I started searching for other needlelace pieces on the internet and sure enough there are quite a few that look just like it. By the way, I've posted a detail image of the scratched lace so you can see it a bit closer up. Thanks so much for your comment, now I'm going to go and hunt for more needlelace.
