About this work
Insert of natural-colored Dutch bobbin lace. The pattern consists of a repeating symmetrical motif of a flower between elongated volute leaves. The motifs are made in linen stitch with openwork edges and are connected to each other by a more or less round lattice ground with braided stitches. The top and bottom sides are finished straight. The insert is sewn with some coarse stitches to a strip of bobbin lace of the same kind.
