The Archduke's Coverlet: A 17th century puzzle









Late in 2021, Gil Dye was given access to high resolution images of the archduke's coverlet - an amazing bobbin lace panel made in the early years of the 17th century. In this illustrated talk Gil will be giving an account of her exploration into the background and construction of this unique lace. Visit the IOLI website for additional information.

Gil is a lacemaker with a general interest in all constructed textiles, and a special interest in 16th and 17th century bobbin lace.
