About this work
Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Binche lace. The repeating and continuous pattern consists of a curved flower stem with three linked flowers at the end. The motifs are connected by a ground, a coarse snowflake ground. The motifs are made in linen stitch with openwork edges and two leaves have a net stitch filling. The lower side is finished straight and provided with picots. Along the upper side a separately bobbin-laced band is sewn, with a fine pattern.
