The designs are made in linen with fine cut-outs and embossed relief contours. The motifs are connected by a fine grid ground, a drochel ground. The upper side is straight finished with a separately banded strap. The very flat scallop edge is finished with picots., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1760 - c. 1770, linen (material), Brussels bobbin lace, l 96 cm × w 8.5 cm
