You have machine-made lace yardage for making curtains, most likely made on a Leaver machine. My guess would be any time from the 1950s to 1980s. You can see in this photo that this lace was meant to be cut out to form straight-side, scallop bottomed panels and valances. Edges would be hand-hemmed or trimmed with lace edging. You can find NEW curtain lace, sold from the bolt costing anywhere from $15 a yard to $60 a yard, depending on quality, design, size, etc. You might search “vintage lace curtains” on online auction sites to see what the offering prices are. |
