Talk:Brussels lace

The end of commercial production
To claim that the production of Brussels lace ended with the 1792 French Revolution needs more substantiation: the citation says otherwise. Firstly, Belgium was an Austrian dominion in 1792, when it was invaded by the Directoire. Secondly, it is arguable that the market disappeared as a result, both in France, as the result of the removal of the aristocracy, and in the UK, which went to war. However, the citation shows it recovered, and developed, and makes no mention of it dying when it was written the mid 1860s. On the other hand, it is much more arguable that the invention of mechanised lace in the early 19th century was responsible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.205.188 (talk) 09:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Adjustments to text
In order to create better fluidity and increased cohesion in the document, I am going to make adjustments to the text in terms of granularity and sentence structure so that the layout and style of the document flows in a better sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Little.panda9 (talk • contribs) 22:00, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
