CHANTILLY LACE The lady in this picture is actually wearing Chantilly lace and there is none more aesthetically pleasing. Most lace looks cheap as chips (and is) but this looks rather expensive (and is). It is made on the old machines in pieces and rather like fully fashioned stockings, needs a seam. Elliott's visual, dark and mournful dirges go right back to the beginning with his first art picture "Under Grave Snow'. The best Chantilly laces were made of black silk and were widely used for mourning. Fabulously expensive and fabulously beautiful, Chantilly lace also appears in Neo Goth masterpiece 'Ashes Roses and Lace'. This juxtaposition of glamour and death is highly unusual, even for Elliott, but makes for a very powerful Art.
