About this work
Strip of natural-colored appliqué lace, needle lace applied on machine-made tulle. Repeating motif with alternately a curved branch, a smaller curved branch and a symmetrical motif with C-shaped leaves. The four flowers on the largest branch are oval with two or three leaves at the top. The pattern is applied on the lower part of the strip, on a fine hexagonal mesh ground. Relief contours with widely scalloped thread bundles and decorative stitches in among others the oval flowers. Almost straight edge along the bottom from which the branches spring. The upper side is finished with a straight edge.
