Kurzfassung:
The exhibition of laces from the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague has been prepared for the eleventh World Lace Congress, which is being hosted by Prague in June. The exhibited selection presents a broad spectrum of bobbin laces not only on synagogue textiles, but also on garments and clothing accessories. The exhibition also includes portraits from the Jewish Museum's art collection. All the known textile techniques and materials are represented in the diverse textile collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague. The Museum's depositories also store a number of items whose ornamentation involves the use of bobbin lace in various forms. These synagogue and ceremonial textiles, garments and accessories, made over the course of almost four centuries, have not been presented to the public and specialists until this year. On the occasion of the eleventh World Lace Congress, organised by OIDFA (Organisation Internationale de la Dentelle au Fuseau et a l'Aiguille) in Prague, the Jewish Museum prepared an exhibition to mark the completion of a several-year research project into its collection of bobbin laces, which was supported financially by the Czech Ministry of Culture. The Jewish Museum's collection of textiles decorated with bobbin lace are an exceptionally precious set, the importance of which consists mainly in the uniquely preserved, comprehensive information available concerning the makers and the time and place the items were made. On the basis of a long- term research project into the textile collection, it has been possible to mark out certain turning points, particularly in the production of yard metal bobbin laces, and to accurately date the occurrence of certain lace- making and passement techniques. We are glad to have this opportunity to show you the results of this research. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue which presents a cross-section of all the types of lace in the textile collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague (120 pages, over 100 illustrations).The exhibition project has been supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
