Cuff of natural bobbin lace, Brussels lace, in combination with one motif of needle lace. Narrow rectangular model with a point in the middle on one long side and pointed corners on the two sides. The lace has a symmetrical pattern where the point in the middle 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 an ornamental 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 middle crowned by a calyx flower and with at the ends facing each other calyx flowers, which also form the scallops along the upper side of the cuff. The points at the underside are each formed by a hanging calyx flower, a fuchsia-like flower. The bobbin lace is made in linen stitch with openwork edges and cutouts.
