Your gorgeous panel is 100% machine-made Nottingham Leaver lace — it replicates both Italian hand-knotted filet and Cluny bobbin lace. Here are similar examples of Nottingham Leaver lace.

These two Nottingham Leaver lace examples are meant to look like Italian knotted filet. These two are copying handmade Cluny bobbin lace.
