Description and Details
This white English Nottingham Cluny lace is woven with patterns and motifs that suit liturgical and ecclesiastical applications, altar linens, vestments and other church textiles where a deeper lace trim is required. The lace measures 12 cm (120 mm) deep, offering a substantial decorative border with traditional Cluny style elements, often used in historical and ceremonial contexts.
Cluny lace is known for sturdy woven motifs with clear, well-defined designs and a structured handle. This makes it ideal for trimming cuffs and hems of robust garments or ceremonial robes, edging altar cloths and kneelers, or adding a refined finish to heritage sewing projects where clarity of pattern and historical texture are important.
The lace is sold by the metre in a continuous piece, so you can order exactly the length you need for borders, panels or long trims without joins. Produced by the last remaining Nottingham lace manufacturers in the UK, this trim carries a level of quality and consistency suitable for both practical ecclesiastical use and careful creative applications in costume, sewing and design.
Materials Details: Traditional woven Nottingham Cluny lace (predominantly 95% Cotton with 5% Nylon for strength and resilience, typical of contemporary woven lace).
