  • Tønder lace is a point-ground type of handmade bobbin lace identified with the Tønder region of Denmark since about 1850, although lace of many types has been made there since as early as 1650. The term is also used more broadly, to refer to any bobbin lace made in Denmark. Tønder lace was traditionally made in fine linen thread, imported from the Netherlands.

It is characterized by fillings in motifs, square in the , and the use of a gimp, a heavy thread outlining the motifs. It often had large holes in the motif, called "Copenhagen holes", which were an attempt on the part of the lacemakers to speed up production of the lace, as they strove to compete with the cheaper . The designs used were similar to Mechlin lace, with many flowers. (en)
