Dentelles de guerre

Beschrijving

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, un groupe de femmes se réunit autour des dentellières et fonde le Comité de la Dentelle. Dans les denrées négociées entre l’Angleterre et l’Allemagne, ce Comité parvient à inclure le fil de coton nécessaire à la fabrication des dentelles. Tous les centres dentelliers belges continuent à produire des dentelles. Elles sont commandées par des acheteurs mécènes, principalement des Etats-Unis. Des centaines de nouveaux motifs sont alors créés.

L’accès à la Chambre des Dentelles est compris dans le prix d’entrée au musée.

Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog richtte een groep kantwerksters samen het Kantcomité op. Dat comité slaagde erin om van katoenen garen, dat nodig is voor de productie van kant, een handelsgoed te maken waarover Engeland en Duitsland onderhandelden. Zo konden alle Belgische kantwerkcentra tijdens de oorlog kant blijven maken die besteld werd door mecenassen, voornamelijk uit de Verenigde Staten. Tijdens die periode zagen honderden nieuwe motieven het licht.

During the First World War, a group of women lace makers came together and founded the Lace Committee. The Committee managed to turn cotton thread, essential for lace production into a commodity  that England and Germany negotiated over. This allowed all Belgian lace-making centers to continue producing lace during the war, which was ordered by patrons, primarily from the United States. Hundreds of new motifs emerged during this period.
