Bobbin lace insert with halved cartouches, Natural Bobbin lace insert: Flanders lace. The repeating pattern consists of halved symmetrical cartouches in two variants that alternate. One cartouche has a lobed frame, crowned by a flower between two curling leaves. In the center there is half a daisy along the bottom. The list of the other cartouche is formed by flower stems and flowers with a five-lobed flower hanging from above. The motifs are largely made in linen with openwork edges and here and there fine cut-outs, which form the veins in the petals. Some parts of motifs, including flower hearts, are made in net stroke. The motifs are connected by a five-hole ground. In the cartouches, a finer and a coarser snow ground was alternately used as ornamental ground. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight and each fastens to a strip of linen: fragments of bedding. The lace is probably made in the Southern Netherlands, the demolition probably in the Northern Netherlands., anonymous, Northern Netherlands, c. 1740 - c. 1760, geheel, Flanders lace, l 46.5, × w 7.5, l 46.5 cm × w 3.5 cm ×, 16.2
