About this work

Veil of natural-colored machine lace: machine tambour work on machine tulle. Between the scalloped edge and a regular garland with stylized leaves small bouquets are worked. On the central field stands a symmetrical pattern consisting of hanging bouquets on the short sides, flanked by flower vines, above which symmetrically worked leaves and flower branches are worked in the same technique.
