About this work

Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Binche lace. On a trellis ground, a five-hole ground, stands a spiral branch filled with feathered leaves. A large tulip, in which a split branch with two flowers and a small grape cluster alternate. The motifs are made in linen stitch and net stitch with openwork edges. As decorative ground sparingly a snowflake ground is applied. The top side of the strip is finished straight and attached to a narrow strip of cut batiste. The straight bottom side of the strip lace is finished with picots.
