About this work

Scarf of applied lace: needle lace applied to machine-made tulle. The applications are arranged around the scarf in a continuous row and at the ends. The application at each end consists of curved flower branches forming a conical configuration. Different large and small flowers and leaves are attached to the flower branches. The repeating pattern along the edge consists of an elongated leaf, which lies slightly curved along the edge. From the hollow part of the leaf, a relatively very small rosette flower sticks up. Just above this, a flower branch with three slightly larger rosette flowers and an elongated leaf bends over it. The succession of curved leaves creates a scalloped edge.
