Cuff of natural bobbin lace, duchesse lace. The cuff is shaped as a circular segment. A very fine symmetrical design stands on a ground of bars. A large goblet flower and a star-shaped five-petal flower alternate with a large fan-shaped flower, which is built up from a goblet with a half-circle as heart and three radiating lobes. Small filler of goblets, rosettes and paillettes. Almost straight outer edges, consisting of fine flowers.
