Bobbin lace insert with two different types of flowers on a splicing stem, Natural stripe lace, old Flemish lace. The repeating pattern consists of a flower stem with two different flowers, which split off in the opposite direction along the underside. A number of elongated leaves spring from the lobed flower that bends back in the direction of the stem. These leaves partly bend towards the end of the stem and partly the other way, where it touches the top tulip-like flower in the subsequent pattern. The motifs are connected by a lattice ground, a five-hole ground. The full work is largely made in linen strokes with openwork edges and in net strokes in the flower hearts of the lobed flower. A snowflakes ground is always used as decorative ground in the space between the two flowers and some snowflakes are used elsewhere as decorative elements. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight, with a linen band running along the top edge and the bottom edge being provided with picots., anonymous, Vlaanderen, c. 1750 - c. 1799, linen (material), old Flemish lace, l 230 cm × w 6 cm ×, 9.6 cm
