Handkerchief of batist with white work that runs into a border of lace embroidery with zigzag pattern and around a border of bobbin lace, Handkerchief of natural-colored batist with embroidery - white work - surrounded by an openwork border of lace embroidery: work with twisted threads that continues from the batist and is stopped. The open sewing gives the impression of filet lace through the square grid that looks like a knotted network. Bobbin lace is sewn around this edge around one edge: Binche lace. Square model with straight edges. The white-on-white embroidery is in a continuous pattern along the edge of the batist and consists of thin, curving tendrils with small leaves and clusters of three rosette flowers, between which are some larger flowers, different in shape and with openwork flower hearts. The corners each have three hollow shells. The work with contracted threads has a square grid in which a zigzag pattern with florets has been made with stopper work. The zigzag is interrupted here and there by three embroidered rosette flowers. A wide strip of eighteenth century lace is sewn around the whole, with seams at the corners. The lace has a repeating pattern of an oval flower and a lying plume-shaped leaf. The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges and small cut-outs. They are connected by a ringed snow ground. In the motifs a decorative ground without rings was used as ornamental ground. The straight edges are finished with picots., anonymous, Europe, c. 1700 - c. 1799 and/or c. 1800 - c. 1899, batist, kant, large snowflake ground with ring, l 41 cm × w 39.5 cm w 5.5 cm ×, 10 cm
