An original box for \"Hayward's Lacemen\" was given with the lace sections.\n\nThe sections are made entirely of hand-made bobbin and needle-lace, in a period when machine-made lace was ubiquitous. The design of the lace incorporates symmetrically organised daisies, lilacs, and other flowers, around inset medallions of 'point de gaze'.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"Maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Hayward's Lacemen","id":"AUTH347132"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"lace","id":"AAT132861"}],"techniques":[{"text":"bobbin lace","id":"x30355"},{"text":"needle lace","id":"x29416"},{"text":"","id":""}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Made from Brussels Point Duchesse lace","categories":[{"text":"Lace","id":"THES48926"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Formal wear","id":"THES48950"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2013GV4436","2013GV4437","2020MU4700","2020MU4708","2020MU4710"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES307683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"bodice","id":"AAT209874"}],[{"text":"skirt","id":"AAT209932"}],[{"text":"sleeve","id":"AAT210530"}],[{"text":"sleeve","id":"AAT210530"}],[{"text":"bodice panel","id":""}],[{"text":"bodice panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Brussels","id":"x31976"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"c.1905","earliest":"1900-01-01","latest":"1909-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Lucy Bulpin","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"The dress pieces belonged to the donor’s mother’s Danish great- aunt, Sophie Allcroft, neé Meyer (1869-1946).  In 1907 Sophie married Arthur Allcroft, from the Dent- Allcroft firm of glovemakers. According to family tradition the dress was bought for her court presentation, but this never took place.\r\n\r\nThere is a similar set in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam which  was worn at the German court by Mathilda, Gravin zu  Dohna (1861-1943) of Ober-Schlesien. This example is illustrated in Spitz: Luxus Zwischen Tradition und Avantgarde , Museum fur Kunst und  Kulturgeschichte der Stadt Dortmund (Dortmund,  1995) and Kant in Mode / Mode in Kant  1815-1914  by Patricia Wardle and Mary de Jong (Utrecht, 1985). As Dries Debackere describes in his article (see References) a further set is in the collection of the Art and History Museum in Brussels.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dress in 6 parts consisting of sleeveless jacket bodice, skirt, two sleeves, and two further shaped bodice panels, made of Brussels Point Duchesse lace, c.1905.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Dries Debackere, '(Un)constructed, Reconstructed and Deconstructed Again.
