About this work
Insert of natural-colored bobbin lace. The pattern consists of a central line of pointed ovals, between which along the lower and upper edge a small pointed oval is placed directly above each other. The motifs are connected by a sparingly applied mesh ground. The motifs are worked in linen stitch with cutouts and openwork edges. The top and bottom edges of the strip are finished straight. The insert is from or intended for bed linen.
