OMG. I was looking for something else, but found this antique #BobbinLace pillow with 500 bobbins. Gold thread. 1889.

Wow.

[Image description: It's an old roller pillow in the French style with a lace pattern in progress. It has a row of completed lace with the pins still in it, and some completed lace off the back. There is just a dogpile of wooden bobbins all over the front area]

@mem_somerville I can not imagine how you would keep that number of bobbins in order!
