In 2006 their descendants gave the remaining stock, study collection and accompanying documents to the Bowes Museum (UK). When it arrived at the museum the Blackborne collection consisted of several trunks filled with unsorted lace. The contents of the trunks included c. 7,000 pieces of lace, including a man’s needle lace collar for a cloak, possibly owned by King Charles I of England. The Bowes Museum put on display some 200 pieces from the collection in the exhibition.
