This is the first book in Russian that traces the history of lace from ancient times. Lace is considered not only one of the most attractive textiles but also a component of costume. When combined with a variety of cultural components, it represents a specific code indicating a person's gender, age, and ethnocultural identity, as well as their status, property, professional status, religious affiliation, and aesthetic preferences.

The book addresses various aspects: the spread of early lace-like forms and the displacement of handcrafted lace by machine production, as well as the identification of imitations and counterfeits of popular types of Russian and Western European lace. Particular attention is paid to lace collecting, methods of attribution, and evaluation. The publication contains a significant number of illustrations, most of which are published for the first time. B. Shapiro is an associate professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
