About this work

Scarf of natural-colored machine-made tulle with machine lace embroidery and etching lace. Long rectangular model. Pattern with three continuous lengthwise stripes made with a slightly wavy sparse vine to which alternating fine leaves and one openwork rosette are attached. In the bands between the stripes stand loose cherry branches at regular intervals. At the ends the scarf is finished with a richly decorated and openwork symmetrical pattern with three large rosette flowers and C-scrolls. Along the long sides a regular scalloped edge along which runs a garland of bows with openwork rosettes.
