The textiles in the Burrell collection seem sumptuous, rare and gorgeous! Really lovely. Will definitely consider visiting, there's so much to choose from! Will try and find out what they have for lace besides these great embroidered pieces. Thanks again.

There is a long history of lace making in Ayrshire and there are still some going - https://www.mybtextiles.com/collections/ - The Burrell Collection has quite a lot of the stuff (and a great Rembrandt self portrait with lace collar) and an exhibition on till december focusing on textiles - http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/museums/our-museums/burrell-collection/Pages/Gilt-Silk-17th-Century-Costume.aspx. Can do a wee bit more research if you like . . . <br />janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588901637630537211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581617218320496354.post-79527273727869975212013-06-25T11:14:57.887+01:002013-06-25T11:14:57.887+01:00Great to hear from you Jo, and thank you!
