Strip of machine-made lace

Strip of natural-coloured machine lace: machine Lille lace. Under two rows of meshes and a row of rosette flowers or diamonds with a hole in the center lies a series of obliquely placed ovals. Each oval is filled with an ornamental ground with three large oval meshes and surrounded by a contour thread, which makes many curls on the upper side, like flames or the hairs of a brush. The motifs are connected to each other by a machine Paris ground. Top and bottom side of the strip are finished straight, the lower side being provided with picots.
