Fanchon or necktie of natural-colored lace embroidery on tulle: tulle stuffing work. Long rectangular model. At the ends the pattern consists of a curling branch with cut leaves, leaf branches, berry branches, and two clusters of three rosette flowers. The field is filled with a scattered pattern of flower branches, each with one rosette flower, a cut leaf, and berries, interspersed with scattered 'dots' made with a thread forming a double circle. The necktie or fanchon is finished around with a fine scalloped edge with triangular shells, along which a border is embroidered with a double zigzag line with circles on the peaks. Between the zigzag lines, a decorative ground is created with an extra thread, making larger openings in the tulle.
