    The gold-silver lace of the 17th – the beginning of the 20th centuries (p. 2)

        In the middle of the 18th century, copes and albs with French «podishpany» were stored in the archimandrite vestry of the Trinity-St.Sergius¬ monastery. In the same place be located the brocade epigonation, remained up to now, decorated ¬ with a lace of similar type with a pattern ¬ consisting of a thin fibrous stalk with four-petal colours departing from it.

        In the 18th century, the gold-silver lace actively gets into a national life. In a museum collection is available two products of a folk art of the end of the 18th - the beginnings of the 19th century with the gold lace. In 1842, the air and two small covers from the gold grids, putting on a lining of lilac silk, have been enclosed ¬ in the Trinity-St.Sergius¬ monastery by general's wife Glazova. The majority of products from a grid in museum collection have dated to the 19th century; among them, there are frequent completely sets of a church cult subjects.

        In the 19th century embroidery by a cross, smooth surface and multi-coloured ¬ chenille there is very popular. The combination of these the technician about gold-silver grids is frequent. So, by Maria Tuchkova, mother Superior the Spasoborodinsky monastery, have been enclosed in the Trinity-St.Sergius¬ monastery the air and two small covers, at which the flower pattern is embroidered on the gild grid from large cells of the quadrangular form by bright red, green and dark blue chenille.

        In the 18th-19th centuries in the Western Europe and Russia, “blondes”, which have weaved from silk threads, used the big popularity. Their main feature consisted in contrast of very thin tulle background and a massive pattern. Quite often in it were intertwined the gold or silver threads, giving to a lace unique grace.
