Presented in this book are many remarkable specimens of Russian gold and silver lace from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, often embellished with pearls and colored stones; silk, linen and cotton laces from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, striking for their diverse ornamentation and complex techniques; and articles produced by contemporary Soviet lace-makers. Preserving the finest traditions of Russian lace-making, developing new forms, new technical devices and a new thematic range, modern lace artists excel in creating beautiful articles — clothing, items of interior decoration, decorative panels, and so on.
