About this work
Flounce of natural-colored bobbin lace: Parisian lace. The ground is divided into two: a Parisian ground with clover leaves at the top and a tulle ground below. In the latter is a symmetrical pattern of rhomboid openwork medallions with side scrolls crowned by a flower between two leaves. The leaves, side scrolls and a series of small flowers and tendrils in the scalloped edge appear in three closed garlands stacked above one another. The motifs are worked in linen stitch and outlined with contour threads. A rose ground is used as decorative ground. The top edge of the strip is finished with a separate bobbin-edged band.
