Cluny lace is a bobbin lace style, worked as a continuous piece. It is a heavy plaited lace of geometric design, often with radiating thin, pointed wheatears (closely woven leaves). Originating in France, it appeared in the nineteenth century in Le Puy and Mirecourt in Lorraine.

Cluny Lace has a heavy net background in which the stitch is darned. It derives its name from the Museum of Antiquities in the Hotel Cluny, Paris, because this lace originally had a rather medieval appearance. Its patterns were usually of quaint or antique ,1 design, woven to preserve old traditions; birds, animals and flowers predominating. Cluny is now usually made in cotton and somewhat resembles the Maltese Lace.
