The International Exhibition: Honiton lace flounce by G. F. Urling, of Regent-street, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Honiton lace flounce by G. F. Urling, of Regent-street, 1862....one of the most exquisite examples of the fabric...for delicacy and perfection of workmanship, for richness of style and variety of stitch, [this example] has not been surpassed in this country...[It was] made by a young lady of eighteen years of age...it is remarkable how much scope has been afforded for ingenuity in the technical details of construction, and how fully such advantages have been turned to account. The pattern comprises two principal elements; the fern, so well adapted by the flexibility of its foliage to fall naturally and gracefully into any outline, and the rose, claiming for its perfect representation, under many aspects the choicest skill of the manufacturer...The fern and rose are once more visible in the mazes of the Arabesque border...The background is here substituted with excellent effect, as the special point of attraction, and embodies in different sections of the pattern the peculiar attributes by which various classes of pillow-lace are severally distinguished. Tho width of this flounce is forty-two inches; its length five yards and a half, the price being two hundred guineas'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures an intricately crafted Honiton lace flounce, created by G.F. Urling of Regent-street in 1862. The lace flounce is considered one of the most exquisite examples of the fabric, showcasing delicacy and perfection of workmanship, richness of style, and an impressive variety of stitches. This masterpiece was created by a young lady of eighteen years old, demonstrating the remarkable ingenuity and skill of the manufacturer. The lace flounce features two primary elements: the fern and the rose. The fern, with its flexible foliage, gracefully falls into any outline, while the rose, with its perfect representation, demands the choicest skill of the manufacturer. The fern and rose reappear in the intricate Arabesque border, adding to the complexity and beauty of the design. The background of this flounce is particularly noteworthy, as it effectively substitutes the traditional pattern and adds visual interest. The background embodies various sections of the pattern, highlighting the unique characteristics of different classes of pillow-lace. Measuring forty-two inches in width and five yards and a half in length, this Honiton lace flounce is a testament to the artistry and dedication of its creator. The price of two hundred guineas reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and rarity of this beautiful piece.
