Berthe from bobbin lace with bunches of grapes and ears of corn, Berthe from natural-colored bobbin lace: Valenciennes lace. The repeating and symmetrical pattern consists of a chalice on a stem, in which stands an ear of corn that bends to the right and to the left. Behind both ears of corn runs a long, curling branch that ends in a bunch of grapes on both sides of the chalice. Between the successive patterns with the chalice are connected to each other by two much larger curved ears of corn that are connected to each other with a ribbon. The motifs are connected by a round grid ground: the round Valenciennes ground. The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges and with large recesses in the bunch of grapes and in the ears of corn. The bottom is finished straight. The top edge is finished with a separately cloned strap with much coarser yarn. The short sides are rounded and finished with a hem., anonymous, Vlaanderen, c. 1650, linen (material), Valenciennes lace, l 121 cm × w 8.5 cm ×, 31 cm
