So I was reading this review of a new exhibit in NYC:

A New Show Takes an Enchanting Look Inside the Estrado, the Opulent But Hidden World of the Spanish Elite

because it came up in my Google Alert for "bobbin lace". I wanted to see the lace they had. It turns out, it's a remarkable painting of lace on a dish. Here's the link to the catalog display of it for a better look.

Salver with Bobbin Lace Decoration [in case the link breaks, it's Accession Number: LE2329]

I wonder if they have laces that we could see on a field trip someday....
