This type of tape lace is characterised by the fineness of the tape used and the minimum quantity of decorative stitching worked in the linked areas. It is said to have been named after Victor-Emmanuel II, the King of Sardinia-Piedmont, who visited England in 1855.

Sardinian point is sometimes known as punto a vermicelli.
