Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to a distinctive type of textile work made at Mount Kennet, near Limerick, Ireland, from 1829 onwards. It may also refer to similar textiles made in other locations. It comprises machine-made net on which embroidery is applied, with a result that is similar in appearance to true hand-made lace. It is characterized by having designs that imitate contemporary popular designs; designs are embroidered using tambour stitches for outlines and needlerun stitches for filling. The term is sometimes used loosely to refer to embroidered net in general.
