This lace length has the moderne rose derived from Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs of the early 20th century. Compare it to the lace in the first section of this exhibition. Dated to before 1918, it is evidence that the moderne was well known in America long before the Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925.
