Cravat of natural-colored applied lace - bobbin lace applied on machine-made tulle - and ends of mixed lace: ribbon lace, a bobbin lace ribbon in combination with needle lace fillings. Elongated rectangular model. The cravat has a scatter pattern with leaves on an S-shaped sprig and along the long sides of the cravat a series of similar leaves or ovals, each finished around with fine picots. On each end of the cravat two long thin flower sprigs are applied, with oval leaves on both sides and at the end a star-shaped flower with pointed oval petals. One sprig is bent, the other is faintly S-shaped. The ends have a scalloped edge made with a densely bobbin lace ribbon. The ribbon forms half-oval shells which are filled with needle lace grounds, made with coarse thread. The shells are finished with an arched edge made with the same kind of coarse thread as the needle lace fillings.
