About this work

Volant of black bobbin lace: Chantilly lace. On a mesh ground stands a nearly symmetrical pattern of large S-shapes, turned in pairs, which are crossed by black flower garlands. The shells are semi-circular and alternately filled with the aforementioned garland and with a leaf border. Above the tops of the S-shapes stands a loose branch with anemone, tulip and narcissi. Above the second shell stands a flower wreath. The inside and one of the sides are decorated with a row of hearts and blossoms.
