About this work
Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, old Flemish lace. The repeating pattern consists of a stringing together of five different leaves. One leaf is crossed by an oval. The motifs are connected by a latticework ground, a five-hole ground. The motifs are made in linen stitch with openwork edges, two of the leaves have a net stitch filling. One of the five leaves is bent back, underneath a decorative ground is applied, a snowflake ground. The top edge is finished straight. The slightly scalloped bottom edge results from the pattern and is finished with picots.
