About this work
Voile of batiste finished on one long side with a strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, blonde. Rectangular model. The repeating lace pattern consists of a continuous wide zigzag line, with in the triangular fields below this line always one four-leaf clover. Along the top and bottom the strip is finished with a series of fan-shaped motifs. The motifs are made in linen stitch. Around the rosettes runs a contour thread. The motifs are connected by a fantasy ground with formed stitches.
