We remember all dowries of our mothers and grandmothers. Wedding chest prepared with care, exhibition of dowry with pleasure…
Unfortunately nowadays, we do not meet the handcrafted dowry from bride-to-be. Even though we do not organize ceremonies of dowry as before, there is a dowry that we still see everywhere in our daily lives; it's lace…
Lace is irreplaceable for dowry and a way of conveying the feelings of young girls. Sometimes the suffering, sometimes the unspoken missing, messages for the lover, dreams on life are knitted lace.
Lace has not only been used as dowry, it is also used many different areas from home decoration to clothing. We see that lace is a traditional product for the whole world in the history.
The production of lace dates back to Venice in the 16th century. It is assumed that it came there from the East. Then, lace spread to many parts of Europe, especially Switzerland, Spain and France.
It is known that the French allocated large budgets to buy Venetian lace, a lace industry was established in the country, lace masters were brought from the Netherlands and Italy, thus the country became a lace production center in Europe.
Lace was seen on the clothes of the aristocrat, bourgeois class, clergymen and in the place like church ceremonies. Lace used on the clothes were accepted as a symbol of a class indicator.
Between the 16th and 19th centuries, it was seen that lace had been used in many areas from gloves to accessories, from the skirts of the dresses to the garnished hats, from the bed to the tablecloth, from the sofa surface to the pillow edge, from the curtains to the bed linen. Lace machines invented with the development of the machinery industry are still used today.
