From the history of lace It is believed that Russian lace appeared in the 17th century. At that time, lace woven from gold and silver threads was used. The material itself was valued more - shiny expensive thread, and not the work of the craftswomen. A sign of luxury and wealth was the use of such lace as trim, and it was used to decorate ceremonial royal, church, boyar clothing, secular and church items. Lace was also woven from thin gold cord, which formed the relief of the product, giving it a more lush and festive look.
