About this work
Strip of natural-coloured mixed lace, with on a machine-made tulle ground a decoration of needle lace as in Argentan lace. The mesh ground of the field is sown with flowers and small rosettes; a fine mesh ground fills the border. As a separator serves a wavy branch with heart-shaped leaves and flowers. The outer border is almost straight and composed of rosettes, leaves and a chain of circles.
