1) An inexpensive, but fine quality, [[bobbin lace]] made in Brussels from the second half of the 17th century. Brussels lace is made from local Brabant flax. The large floral and plant designs were joined with a mesh ground to form the larger pattern. The mesh ground has a characteristic hexagon with four twisted and two plaited sides. By the 18th century, the designs were worked separately then added onto a net background. It is thought that Brussels lace may have been smuggled into France and England for sale as English lace (point d'angleterre).

Description

An inorganic manufactured fiber that is stable at high temperatures. Ceramic fibers are composite materials made from mixtures of Silica with inorganic oxides such as Alumina, zirconia, thoria, Magnesia, hafnia, beryllia, Titanium dioxide, potassium titanate. They are used for insulation, packing, gaskets and reinforcement.

See Aluminum silicate fiber.
