Cuff of needle lace with hanging flowers and curling stems, Cuff of natural colored needle lace: Brussels lace. The symmetrical pattern consists of hanging flowers with five petals on the bottom edge and a drop-shaped flower heart formed by a loop. Between the successive flowers there is always a smaller calyx flower at the ends of the loops with which the flower hearts are formed on both sides. On the short sides, the pattern runs across the corner. Each drop-shaped flower heart is crowned by a rosette flower and one or two (at the middle) circles. Above each chalice is an openwork arch crowned by a circle. The motifs are made with festival stitches and are accentuated by relief contours. The motifs are connected to each other by a mesh lace soil with pulps. The scallop edge is formed by the hanging flowers. The top is straightly finished with two wires with a rail pattern., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1825 - c. 1849, linen (material), Brussels point de gaze, l 17 cm × w 3.3 cm
