Place of originArgentan, France
Introduced18th century

Argentan lace or Point d'Argentan is an 18th century needle lace from Argentan, France. Argentella is derived from Argentan.[1][2] Argentan lace exhibits a more prominent and larger pattern in contrast to its nearest variant, Alençon lace.[1] A distinctive feature of Argentan point lace is the "bride picotée", which may have originated from early Venetian lace-making techniques.[3]

The Scuola Merletti di Burano produced needle lace inspired by the French Argentan and d’Alençon, but with characteristics of its own and new motifs.[4]
