About this work

Sleeve of natural-coloured applied lace: needle lace applied on machine-made tulle. Balloon-shaped upper part that narrows into the coconut-shaped part that is gathered at the top and gathered again around the wrist. The upper part of the sleeve is unadorned, the part has a sprig pattern of twigs with three pointed oval leaves. The cuff is also made of machine-made tulle, decorated with a linked row of flowers. The cuff is finished with an edge of machine-made lace, with a linking of openwork ovals, without ground. On the cuff two small mother-of-pearl buttons.
