Summarized by Shop
The Reticella provides just the touch of whimsy to the orderliness of the classic Punto Antico surround. This technique binds the fabric threads to form the mesh on which the lace is worked, giving the project the inherent strength of the linen background, whilst maintaining an airy feel to the lace against the boldness of the Punto Antic
