Although lace has been used in interior decoration for centuries, it only achieved its status as a window dressing in the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution brought about manmade lace (known as Nottingham lace, after the city where it was widely produced). No longer concerned with exposing expensive handmade laces to direct sunlight, the Victorians began piling lace around the windows. Popular forms included swags and jabots, panels, and full-length curtains—even lace tiebacks. | | | |

Arts & Crafts homes tended to favor Madras laces—these sheer panels embellished with simple geometric borders in the pages of The Craftsman. Even more popular during this period were “glass curtains”—sheer fabrics like muslin that were colored or patterned. | | | |
