Cuff of natural-colored bobbin lace - Bruges lace - in combination with one motif of needle lace. Narrow rectangular model with a point in the center on one long side and pointed corners on the two sides. The lace has a symmetrical pattern where the point in the center is formed by a rose of needle lace. The rose is made with buttonhole stitches with relief contours and some cutouts in the petals and petals filled with a decorative ground. In the openwork flower center stands a buttonholed circle. The rest of the cuff is bobbin lace: above the rose two lying C-shaped stems, in the center crowned by a cup flower and with at the ends cup flowers facing each other, which also form the scallops along the top side of the cuff. The points at the bottom are each formed by a hanging cup flower, a fuchsia-like flower. The bobbin lace is made in linen stitch with openwork edges and cutouts.
