Point de Paris is a French bobbin lace of the 18th century, with slender trailing designs in a point de Paris ground. It was a simple lace, and did not compete with those of Flanders. It was revived in the late 19th century for trimming lingerie and 'fancy linen'.[1]
Point de Paris ground is used in other lace styles as well. It has many other names:
- six-point star - from the shape
- fond chant - it formed the ground of 19th-century Chantilly lace)
- fond double
- Kat stitch - there was a tradition that Catherine of Aragorn started the tradition of Bedfordshire lace
- French ground - it was used in 18th century French peasant lace
- wire ground - the intertwining of the threads looks like a wire mesh
It is also found in Antwerp lace, Chantilly lace and Bucks Point.[2]
