About this work

Incrustation of natural-coloured bobbin lace, Cluny lace. Square model with slightly hollowed sides. The symmetrical pattern consists of a rhomboid field with on the outside of each of the four sides, a semi-circular field with seven spokes, alternately made with braids and leaf-shaped shape stitch. In the center of the rhomboid field stands a double circle with eight spokes made with braids. Outside the central circle these spokes alternately run out in a funnel-shaped motif or a leaf-shaped motif. Both motifs are made in shape stitch, where the funnel has nine ribs and the leaf-shaped motif three ribs. The funnel-shaped motifs are crowned by semi-circular field with three spokes, made with braids.
