Sicilian Lace

Sicilian lace is the term for various types of embroidered lace, notably buratto embroidery, drawn thread work and darned net, made in Sicily from the sixteenth century onwards. Sicilian lace was used for both secular and religious purposes. Some forms of Sicilian lace were embroidered with coloured silks, notably, bluish green, rose pink and canary yellow.
