The French lacis means net,and the French lacet cord or braid. EARLY ITALIAN LACES The earliest of the im])ortant Italian laces were reticella, filetitalien, and huratto. The first was a development of drawn and cutwork (Plate I), but the name was retained for similar lace madewith the needle without cloth foimdation. The designs are geometricaland simple, and arranged in small scjuares. When needle lace so completely freed itself from its reticella andcut work ancestry (Plates 1, II and IV) as to be worked in boldand irregular patterns like those of Plate II, it began to be called airpoint (puuto in aria), the highest type of Venetian laces. 91.
