About this work
Cuff of natural-coloured bobbin lace, Valenciennes lace. The repeating pattern consists of a V-shaped leaf in a semi-circular shell formed by a double band. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground, a diamond-shaped Valenciennes ground. The motifs are made in linen stitch with cutouts and openwork edges. In the cutouts and between the double band along the shells a striped pattern is realized with braids. The upper side of the strip is finished straight. The shells along the underside are finished with picots.
