The International Exhibition: Honiton lace flounce by Debenham, Son, and Freebody of Wigmore-street, 1862. 'The design consists of applique bouquets of English flowers, alternately varied on a richly-sprigged ground. The flowers in the small bouquets consist of china aster, heartsease, fuchsia, bluebell; and of lily, hawthorn-blossom, and lily of the valley. Those in the large bouquets consist of poppy, wheat, cornflower, jessamine, forget-me-not, eglantine, violet; and of iris, convolvulus, honeysuckle, apple-blossom, and wheat. The border is in guipure, and composed of ferns and ivy. The guipure border to the applique centre is novel, and a great improvement on the massive guipure which has hitherto prevailed in the Honiton manufacture. The style of pattern resembles the far-famed Brussels designs, and the quality is equal to the best Belgian production'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
