Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Malines lace. On a fine lattice ground, a Mechelse ground (also called icy ground), with a few rows of pulp at the top, there is a symmetrical pattern, which, like 'precipitation', is more closed along the scallop edge. Angularly drawn arches of 'railway rails' are accompanied by a fine pendulum and three vine leaves, which form the pointed scallops. Standing hexagonal medallions, the concave sides of which are doubled and have a leaf crown, form the closing pieces of the arches. Above the arches is a rose.

On the lattice ground, a Mechelse ground (also called icy ground), there are two symmetrical, devoted and sloping branches, whose side branches with leaf and flower intersect an oval that is filled with lattice work. Small ovals in the faintly scalloped edge. Halved finials and rosettes stand against the straight inside. Malines lace.

On the lattice ground, a Mechelen ground (also called icy ground), a row of twigs, on which heavy daisies hang, stands between scattered forget-me-nots. The circular arched scallops are equal and formed by a chain of rosettes. Malines lace.

On the lattice ground, a ground of Mechelen (also called ice ground), under a stiff row of leaves and flowers there is a row of double twigs, with small flowers and leaves on an upright branch and a hanging rose on a side branch. The latter forms the shells with 'railways'. Malines lace.

Cap slip made of natural-colored Brussels bobbin lace. A river with a lattice ground is cut by a branching branch with flowers and lancet leaves, while in the fields with a fine mesh net one sprig grows each time with a flower, the open heart of which is pear-shaped. The scallops are flat and have many grid-filled medallions. By mistake a matching Brussels hat brief (BK-BR-J-175-A) was fitted with a Mechelen hat brief (BK-BR-J-175-B), while the matching second Brussels hat brief (BK-BR-J) described here -177) remained separately.

On the lattice ground, a Mechelen ground (also called ice ground), there is a running pattern of large rocailles with grid filling, which are connected with a similarly decorated arch to a double branch emerging from the flat scallop edge. Vine leaves grow on the upright side branch, roses and carnations grow on the supine branch. Malines lace.

Strip of natural colored bobbin lace: Binche lace. On a lattice ground, a five-hole ground, is a spiral branch covered with feathery leaves. A large tulip, in which a split branch with two flowers and a small bunch of grapes alternate. The motifs are made in linen stitch and net stitch with openwork edges. As a decorative ground, a snowflakes ground has been used sparingly. The top of the strip has a straight finish and is attached to a narrow strip of cut batiste. The straight underside of the lace strip is finished with picots.

Natural bobbin lace guimpe: Duchesse lace. Rectangular model with slightly widened ends. The background, half lattice ground, half plaited ground, is divided by an arched frame. On the trellis ground are a few loosely scattered twigs with berries and a border of 'buttercups' on stems.

  1. Lattice
    Any work of wood, metal, plastic, or other solid material, made by crossing a series of parallel laths, or thin strips, with another series at a diagonal angle, and forming a network with openings between the strips; as, the lattice of a window; -- called also latticework. "The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice ."
  2. Lattice
    (Crystallography) The arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystal, represented as a repeating arrangement of points in space, each point representing the location of an atom or molecule; called also crystal lattice and space lattice.
  3. Lattice
    (Her) The representation of a piece of latticework used as a bearing, the bands being vertical and horizontal.
  4. Lattice
    To close, as an opening, with latticework; to furnish with a lattice; as, to lattice a window. "Therein it seemeth he [Alexander] hath latticed up Cæsar."

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
  1. (n) lattice
    Work with open spaces formed by crossing, interlacing, or joining laths, bars, or rods of wood or metal.
  2. (n) lattice
    Anything made of or covered with strips interwoven so as to form a sortof network; specifically, a window, window-blind, or screen made of laths or strips which cross one another like network, so as to leave open interstices. Lattices are used especially when air rather than light is to be admitted. They were once general in England. Also lat-tice-blind, lattice-window.
  3. (n) lattice
    In heraldry, a bearing representing a series of perpendicular and horizontal strips crossing one another over the field or a part of it. These strips may be interlaced or not, and if interlaced should be so blazoned. A lattice differs from a surface fretty in being palewise and barwise, while fretty is always bendwise. According to some writers, the lattice should never be Interlaced, and it is allowed by them that the strips may be bendwise, dexter and sinister, the difference between this and a surface fretty being in the circumstance that they do not interlace.
  4. lattice
    To furnish with a lattice.
  5. lattice
    To give the form or appearance of a lattice to.
  6. (n) lattice
    In textile-manuf., an apron or a conveyer made of laths or slats, and designed to carry material into a machine or from one machine to another.
  7. (n) lattice
    In mathematics, a net made of straight lines, vertical and horizontal, and inclosing rectangular compartments.
Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary
  1. (n) Lattice
    lat′is a network of crossed laths or bars, called also Latt′ice-work: anything of lattice-work, as a window:
  2. (v.t) Lattice
    to form into open work: to furnish with a lattice
  3. (n) Lattice
    lat′is (her.) a bearing of vertical and horizontal bars crossing each other
