About this work

Strip of natural-coloured bobbin lace: Lille lace. Under a row of loose rosette flowers the lower half of the strip is filled by a repeating pattern of linked shield-shaped cartouches. It concerns two different symmetrical cartouches. The motifs are connected to each other by a fine lattice ground, a tulle ground. The motifs are made in linen stitch, with thicker and shiny contour threads. Different filler grounds are applied, alternating in the frame and in the centre of the cartouches. The top and bottom are finished straight, with the underside provided with picots.
