Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alencon lace or point d'Alencon is a needle lace that originated in Alencon, France. It is sometimes called the Queen of lace. Lace making began in Alencon during the 16th century and the local industry was rapidly expanded during the reign of Louis XIV by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, who established a Royal Workshop in the town to produce lace in the Venetian style in 1665. The purpose of establishing this workshop was to reduce the French court's dependence on expensive foreign imports. The local lacemakers soon modified the Venetian technique and Alencon emerged as a unique style around 1675.
