The style of this needlepoint lace is based upon that of the Venetian lace (sometimes called Rose Point) of the seventeenth century. The designs for these two borders were made at the Crawford Municipal School of Art, Cork, by Miss Perry, and were then worked in the North of Ireland, at Innismacsaint, by needlepoint lace-makers employed by Mr. Ben Lindsey, the well-known lace-dealer of Grafton Street, Dublin.
