About this work

Japon strip of natural-colored appliqué lace, needle lace applied on machine-made net, point d'Angleterre. A border of round shells is formed by a closed row of large flowers which, to the right, hang from small flower branches. Above that runs a narrow border of a wavy branch with smaller similar flowers. The upper part consists of a ground of unadorned net. Two narrower strips have the same, and a reduced pattern.
