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!
