Handkerchief of batist finished around with needle lace, Handkerchief of batist finished around with natural colored needle lace: Brussels lace. The batist is eight-lobed in shape with the lobes finished in an angular way. The lace has a pattern of c-volutes, flowers and flower sprays with berries. The largest flowers are the roses at the corners along the edge: one large rose per corner, placed in a corner and flanked left and right by three simple roses. In the u-shaped field above there is a rose branch with one rose from which sprigs sprout with berries on it. This field is crowned by a cornflower or carnation between two volutes. A more or less comparable but smaller pattern is in the midfield that is encased in two large c-volutes. The motifs are made with differently executed festoon stitches and with relief contours. The motifs are connected to each other by a mesh lace background, decorated with a few pulps. Needle lace stitches and decorative grounds were used in the flower hearts and spaces in the c-volutes., anonymous, Brussels (possibly), c. 1850 - c. 1855, cotton (textile), Brussels point de gaze, l 34 cm × w 34 cm w 15 cm
