Fringes with rose bouquet in an oval and bell-shaped cartouche, Fringes of natural colored needle lace: Brussels lace. The repetitive and partly symmetrical pattern consists alternately of an oval cartouche and a bell-shaped cartouche, both with a bouquet in the center. The oval cartouche consists of three c-volutes on the underside, filled with circles in which densely shaped relief circles form rosettes. These circles also appear in an edge under the bell-shaped cartouche. In the bell-shaped cartouche there is one rose between leaves and branches with berries. The oval cartouche contains an asymmetrical bouquet with two roses and fuchsias. The motifs are made up of festival stitches and are provided with relief contours of widely used wire bundles. The roses and some leaves are double layered or triple layered. The motifs are connected to each other by a mesh lace soil strewn with pouches. The upper side of the strip is finished straight with a clasped or machine-made strap. The shell edge follows the shapes of the cartouches and alternately consists of a rounder shell under the oval-shaped cartouche and a more pointed shell under the bell-shaped motif., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1860 - c. 1870, linen (material), Brussels point de gaze, l 950 cm × w 25 cm ×, 25 cm
