Collar of appliqué lace with a flower branch and ornamental border

Collar of natural-coloured applied lace: mixed lace - bobbin lace with a needle lace ornamental ground - applied on machine-made tulle. Narrow strip-shaped model, curved to almost a semi-circle and with rounded corners at the underside. Symmetrical pattern of a bobbin-worked branch with flowers and leaves and a rose in the middle, applied on machine-made tulle. The motifs are made in linen stitch with sparingly applied cut-outs and with thin, shiny contour threads. Thread bundles provide relief contours with which flower petals and leaf veins are accentuated. Along the short side and underside this pattern is framed by a wide ornamental band. From inside to outside this frame consists of a slightly wavy chain of linked ovals, applied on the machine-made tulle. Then a double bobbin-worked frame between which a diamond-shaped ornamental ground of needle lace, with dots and wheel picots at the intersections.
