About this work
Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace. The repeating and continuous pattern consists of two wavy lines, forming rounded rhomboid fields together. In each wave crest and in each wave trough hangs or stands a fan-shaped leaf. The motifs are connected by a rhomboid mesh ground. The motifs are made in linen stitch with openings. Along the lower side of the strip runs under a straight border in linen stitch a scallop border of linked fan motifs. The top side is finished with a simple straight decorative border. One of the short sides is finished with a hem.
