Halas lace

Halas lace panel for a fan, designed by Árpád Dékáni (1861-1931) and made by Mária Markovits, Kiskunhalas Lace Manufactory, ca. 1906

Halas lace is a type of needle lace. It first appeared in 1902[1] in the town of Kiskunhalas, Hungary, colloquially known as "Halas". The lace was typically soft orange, pale green and yellow in colouring.[2] Arpad Dekani and Maria Markovits are credited with developing Halas lace.[1] Initially, Dekani did all of the design work while Markovits executed the designs.[1]
