Hello Listserv!
 
I am looking for someone who could confirm or deny the plausibility of a
donor's family story about a piece of lace (it is supposed to have come
from Russian princesses).  I have sent photos and the family narrative
to a number of institutions with textile collections, as well as a few
conservators, but have had no response, so I thought I would try the
listserv!
 
Again, I don't need anything "formal" like an appraisal, just a "no way"
or "well, it could be" opinion.
 
If you know about lace and think you could help, please email me and I
will send you the photos.
 
Thanks!
 
Holly
