dates to late 19th century based on a document from a lace expert.
The note from the lace expert also reveals an interesting theory that the various numbering systems found with titles for many of the lace objects may indicate a numbering system for Ms. Reves -- for example the 150 fr. probably refers to her paying 150 francs for the piece.
