About this work

Strip of natural-colored machine lace: machine Mechlin lace. Under a scattered pattern of three rows of leaves, the repeating pattern along the lower edge of the strip consists of a row of curved stems to which a daisy hangs down. Two smaller flowers or leaves on the stem are directed upwards. The motifs are outlined with thicker and shiny contour threads and connected by a fine machine Mechlin ground. A machine rose ground is applied in the flower hearts. The upper edge of the strip is finished straight. The shell edge along the lower side is finished with picots.
