Under Csetneker peak refers to a particular technique of Häkelspitzenanfertigung . The parts equipped with the figure are crocheted separately, then attached to a sheet of paper or fabric provided with the sketch of the lace pattern and fastened with a network crocheted in their position.
The inventors of the Csetnek Hungarian lace ( Hungarian : Csetneki Magyar Csipke ) were siblings from Csetnek (today: Štítnik ): Erzsébet Szontágh and Aranka Szontágh. At the end of the 19th century, these took over Irish lace-making traditions and enriched them with Hungarian motifs. In December 1905 they presented their work in the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts and in the Women's Association for Art and Culture. A house trade for local sales quickly grew into a flourishing company with business relationships that extended overseas. Only the First World War put an end to the success story.
Efforts are now under way to revive the lace-making trade. Ida Medgyesiné Vághy has handed down the old motifs and traditional production techniques to the present day and passed them on to younger people. In addition, they also process new designs.
