Strip of needle lace with crown in oval cartouche

Strip of natural-colored needle lace, point de France. Pattern without repeat, but with recurring and partly mirrored motifs, including an oval cartouche with a crown inside. Hexagonal ground with picoted bars. Solid work with cutouts and largely without relief, except for some smaller motifs with cords. At the straight edge at the bottom hang small palmettes and ovals on corded and partly picoted bars. The top and sides are edged with a bobbin lace border.
