About this work
Border strip of black bobbin lace: Chantilly lace. On an empty mesh ground stands a closed border with shells, filled with a garland of flowers and leaves. At the intersections stands a small shell with a hanging rose, above which a pointed bouquet rises of four large fern leaves and a flower branch reaching to the upper edge. A horizontal ivy vine with hanging twigs runs here, while on the field above the large shell of this ivy vine a large bouquet hangs, including a tulip.
