Spacer of a double strip of bobbin lace with hexagons, Spacer of natural-colored bobbin lace made of two strips sewn together lengthwise. The pattern is based on a sixteenth-century example and is reminiscent of reticella. It consists per row of a row of hexagons made with a dense mesh that are connected to each other with braid work from the corners. The pattern continues in the top and bottom edges, but is interrupted halfway there by a straight finish with picots. The pattern on the center line, where the strips are sewn together, does not exactly match each other. The continuous pattern consists of a concatenation of a circle and a horizontal comma along the underside of the strip. Above, the strip consists of a mesh ground, a round Valenciennes ground. The motifs are made in loose-worked linen with open-worked edges. The top of the strip is finished straight. The scallops on the underside are finished with picots. (needle side). The ribbon is made of linen with open-worked edges and alternately forms a loop with a horizontal diamond underneath and an elongated bell-shaped motif. Various needle lace fillings, decorative grounds, have been applied within the contours that form the ribbon. The motifs are connected to each other by a barbed ground. The top of the strip is finished with a straight ribbon. The toothed shell edge along the bottom comes from the pattern., anonymous, Italy, c. 1890 - c. 1899, linen (material), bobbin lace, l 6 cm × w 32 cm ×, 1.8 cm
