About this work

Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Lille lace. Scattered pattern of square motifs with below, on the center line, a repeating pattern of a one-sided C-shaped motif of openwork circles or so-called 'pins'. Along the underside of the strip lie circles or berries, crowned with three narrow leaves. All circles are made with thicker and shiny contour threads, along which a decorative ground is applied. There is hardly any solid work applied, only the three narrow leaves of the berries and some narrow leaves in the C-shaped motif are made in linen stitch. The top and bottom edges of the strip are finished straight, with the underside provided with picots.
