Lace and Royal weddings
It’s all about the
Images courtesy Bonhams
Dresses are records of fashion and historical
change. Wedding dresses worn by Royals are
symbolic and globally scrutinised down to the
tiniest of details. Royal wedding dresses mark
the beginning of new fashion trends, these
change over time but often repeat themselves

As an apprentice carpenter andjoiner back in Ireland in 1966,David Lynch visited his localhardware store to kit out his box oftools. As the store sold Recordrather than the Stanley brand handplanes, some 40 years ago when hebegan to collect tools, Lynchfocused on the Record brand.Moreover, he developed a keeninterest in hand planes the companymade between 1931 and 1939.
There was something in hismindset, he says, that led him toprefer Record to Stanley, recalling
that everyone was always talkingabout Stanley, but he found theRecord made planes every bit asgood if not better.
Inspired to collectHis interest in the idea of
collecting was sparked by hismother’s curiosity in all types ofobjects and particularly her interestin collecting little brass figurines ofmice and whatnots. He fondlyremembers she owned a boot withthree little mice in it. ‘She used tobe always looking for these things. I suppose this was something in theback of my mind.’
His profession became the
starting point to a
significant collection of
hand tools that a
woodworker would well
appreciate and collectors
everywhere understand

Come on a collecting journey,travelling around Australia with adedicated collector who shares hisstories of how he acquired unusualkangaroo-inspired pieces and thereason for wanting them.
Kangaroos are partof the Australiancoat of arms
John’s* first purchase was afurniture plate with an Australiancoat of arms, made of silver gilt,and was found at the SydneyAntique Centre. A dealer had justmoved into the centre a few daysearlier and as part of his shopfittings he had glued the plate to ahalf swing door. John told the dealerthat he was impressed with thestock and asked if everything wasfor sale, the answer was yes.
Having spied the plate on thedoor, he asked how much? ‘Well, it’snot for sale,’ replied the dealer.After some discussion, the dealer,who was keen to make one of hisfirst sales, said $200, and the dealwas done. Luckily the glue had notfully dried and plate came off thedoor without a hitch. This furniture
plate was made around the time
of Federation (1900) and John
holds this piece to be the star item
in the collection.
Metal architecturalwares
The next item he came across
was an A. Simpson & Son of
Adelaide brass safe plate with the
arms of Australia on it, circa 1880-
1920. He acquired the plate via his
wife’s family. Her paternal
grandfather had worked for the firm
and owned the plate. Exactly how
he got it remains a family mystery.
It was found in an old wooden box
where it had been lying for years
gathering dust.
Another Simpson-made item to
come his way was a cast iron stand,
made around 1900. It was found in
a gift and antique shop in a country
town in the foothills of Perth. The
asking price was a modest $20. Iron
stands that have a motif are hard to
find, but despite this they are usually
reasonably priced. Expect to pay
$50 upwards for similar iron stands.

As the store sold Recordrather than the Stanley brand handplanes, some 40 years ago when hebegan to collect tools, Lynchfocused on the Record brand.Moreover, he developed a keeninterest in hand planes the companymade between 1931 and 1939.

A comprehensivecollection
Today, Lynch possesses all buttwo of the Record planes madebetween 1931 and 1939. ‘Thereare two block planes that I’ve notbeen able to get, and I have notseen one for sale in 30 years. Theymanufactured them before the warperiod for only a very short time,maybe four or five years, and theyprobably didn’t manufacture manyof them. I would dearly love to getthem but I think that the chances ofgetting them are very slim.’
It is interesting, he adds, that theRecord planes were copies ofStanley planes whose patents hadrun out but there was nocompromise on the quality. UnlikeStanley, Record did not make 01size only 02 and both made sizes to08. Amongst the defining qualitiesof the planes from this period werethe use of rosewood handles, heavierbody casts and the use of tungstensteel for the cutters. After the war,the company did not resume fullproduction, and the company’sownership changed hands.
For the collector:catalogues providereliable information
Much of the information that heknows about the planes, other toolsand the history of Record, Lynch haslearned from studying about 200 ofthe company’s catalogues that hehas also collected. Each one, hesays, ‘is a sort of time capsule.’
Lynch’s knowledge, passion, and
collection, has made him an expert.He attracts visitors to his displays,and each month receives around 40emails from around the world, andmore than 5000 hits on hiswebsite. Having to spend numerousspells in hospital over the last tenyears for an injury, Lynch wouldcompile information from thecatalogues into notebooks.
Sharing knowledgeand information
His son Sam suggested he couldshare his knowledge by establishinga website. This lead to acollaborative effort between fatherand son with Lynch typing up thetext and taking pictures and Samlearning how to put up the site.‘The internet and email has madeexchanging information,communicating, finding andobtaining objects much easier andquicker,’ says Lynch.
There are many serious collectorsof hand tools in general, not justRecord, and there are dealers as well,although Lynch cannot estimate howmany. There are very few collectorswho are in it for the money, he adds.However, the price of Record planeshas increased since Lynch launchedhis website, and he says he neverimagined for one minute that therewere so many collectors of Recordtools. It has become a morecompetitive area for collectors.
There are many waysto acquire pieces

A mounted silvered kangaroo made inSheffield, was spotted at one of thelargest out of town antique centres –Tyabb Antique Village, Tyabb Victoria. Itwas purchased minus the base for $95and a good friend made the wooded basefor him.
Cottage industryDuring a visit to the Blue Mountains,
NSW, John came across the VictoriaTheatre Antique Centre in Blackheath.Here he found a wooden box with aFederation Coat of Arms of Australiacarved on the lid. At an asking price of$200 it required some hard thinking, butin the end John purchased it. While mostboxes sell for much less, this examplewas crafted by a sensitive competentamateur carver and as such wasconsidered well worth the asking price.
Interestingly, it was not until he foundthe receipt that he remembered theasking price. This is a reminder topotential collectors that the value is inthe pleasure a piece gives, faroutweighing the initial cost, which at thetime may seem high.

Almost as terrifying for the
Staffordshire potters and their
audience, and every bit as exotic to
them as aliens and UFOs are to us,
were non-Westerners. These were
people who personified the
mysterious unknown and gave flesh
to nagging concerns about a
changing, expanding world that
was filled with new uncertainties
and questions about British
imperialism and identity.
Romantic writingsand art to inflamethe imagination
Explorers and travellers to theEast touched the British public’simagination through publication oftheir memoirs, diaries and letters.Lord Byron’s poem Don Juan (1819-1824) of the hero living disguisedas a woman in the sultan’s haremtitillated the imagination. Otherpoets including Shelley, Coleridgeand later, Tennyson, also gloried inOrientalism. They drew from it intheir verse for characters and plots.
Lord Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) and other painters revelled insemi-naked Odalisques. The Pre-Raphaelites produced paintings ofsloe-eyed beauties swathed in easternfineries, while the American artistJames McNeill Whistler (1834-1903)brought Japanese decorative art anddesign into homes.
The exotic East:Fertile fodder forthe imagination
The East became synonymouswith mystery, wealth, excitement,danger, and magic. Here was asource of the exotic in attire andcustoms. Romanticism thrived onthe ideal of the Noble Savage andexotic landscapes. Monarchserected pleasure palaces andpavilions in what they consideredoriental style, most notably theRoyal Pavilion built in Brighton bythe Prince Regent, later George IV,between 1787 and 1823.
The very rich and theintelligentsia were long able to supon Eastern aesthetic delicacies totheir hearts’ content through traveland the purchase of fine art andexotica. It was not long that thegrowing middle and working classeswanted a share of this world. Theywanted their portion of theexcitement generated by foreigners andtheir world that represented everythingthe British public was not and prideditself on not being: heathen, primitive,savage, polygamous, and not ofCaucasian appearance.
Translatingexoticism intoceramic forms
To 19th century Britons, anyonesprung from anything other thansolid Anglo-Saxon stock wasimmediately suspect, but managedto exert a monumental influence onpopular music, fashion, interiordesign and the decorative arts. TheStaffordshire potters developed afully-fledged love affair with allthese weird, threatening, andalluring cultures. They producedeverything from Arabian potentates
and their harem girls and camels, toChinese mandarins and dancers.
Everything the British public wasnot, but wanted to know about, andwanted to be seen knowing about it, wascaptured in clay and made safe. But forthose who purchased them, thesefigures were still exotic and excitingenough to transform an occidentalmantle into an oriental wonderland.

While Pippa Middleton’s derrierewas the key interest for many royalwedding watchers, with thousandsof Facebook followers joining anappreciation page overnight, othersof us remember the wedding for theamazing dress.
A feat of Britishcouture
Kate, now Catherine, wore awonderful feat of British couturedesigned by Sarah Burton, who hadrecently stepped into the shoes ofthe sadly mourned (Lee) Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton, previously anunknown designer, certainly stepped upto the mark. The success of the dresshas helped cement her place at thehelm of McQueen with both the mediaand public.
The dress paid homage to somany earlier royal weddings, notablythe dress Grace Kelly wore whenshe married Prince Rainier III ofMonaco in 1956, designed by MGMcostume designer Helen Rose, whohad been designing Grace’swardrobe for the film High Society.This dress had a finely worked fittedlace bodice with a high neck andlong sleeves, a silk skirt with a longtrain, and finished off with a simplenet veil with lace edging.
From queens of thesilver screen toBritish royalty
Grace’s dress, which justhappened to have been displayed at
an exhibition on Grace Kelly Styleat London’s V&A museum in 2010,is undoubtedly the inspiration forCatherine’s dress.
According to MGM press, GraceKelly’s dress was made of ‘antiquerose point lace.’ This fine style ofneedle lace, with its characteristicraised three-dimensional rose heads,is also known as Point de Gaze. Aswith Catherine’s dress, Grace’s dresshad further reworking with morelace appliquéd to the already lavishlacework bodice, to give theplacement and coverage thedesigner desired, along with theaddition of pearl beads.
Drawing on pasteras: earlyVictorian style
Another tribute to past royalwedding dresses was the lace motifsused in Catherine’s dress, symbolsof the British Isles: rose (England),shamrock (Ireland), thistle(Scotland) and daffodil (Wales) –this last symbol is not commonlyfound. This style of motifs isindicative of Honiton lace and wasfamously used for Queen Victoria’swedding dress when she marriedPrince Albert in 1840.
Victoria’s choice of Honiton lacewas significant because the laceindustry had taken a knock in theearly 19th century. Fancy lace hadgone out in favour of fine muslingowns, and fashions were now aboutsimplicity and clean straight empirelines. Decorations favoured were self-coloured embroidery and needle-runtrims, such tamboured lace.
At the same time, the technicaladvances of the machine age meantlace could be produced much fasterthan by hand. In the early-19thcentury machine-made net wasbeing introduced as a base for lace,and by the mid-19th centurymachine-made lace was getting tosuch a high technical standard thatit was hard for the untrained eye toalways pick whether it was made bymachine or hand.
By the time Victoria was planningher wedding, the time-consuminghand production of lace had alreadystarted to dwindle with machineproduction taking over many of thehand crafters’ roles. Many hadalready started to find work in otherindustries, so there were difficultiesfinding enough lace makers to seethe commission through, particularlyconsidering more than 200 of themwere needed to complete the work,which took from March to Novemberof 1839.
Victoria’s Honiton wedding dresssaw a fashion revival for Britishhand-made lace, and Victoriabecame an instrumental figure inkeeping lace in fashion throughout
