Steel linen with a beginning of cut work with wheels and squares as an example of this technique with matching fragment, Steel natural-colored linen with lace embroidery: reticella in open sewing technique (cut work). Study material. In the coarse linen a start has been made of a geometric pattern with four rows of openwork squares, as an example of this technique. In a diagonal line there are wheels around three intersections, one wheel per intersection, made by sewing on warp and weft threads with festoon stitches. The tension wires with which the wheels are formed are also sewn with festival stitches. In six openwork squares there is a wheel per square in a network of unfounded tension wires. To the right of the pattern you can see how warp threads (vertical) and weft threads (horizontal) are partly cut away and pulled out. A start has been made with festooning the bundles of weft threads that are left over. The linen is finished with hems along which a border of work with drawn-out threads has been made. The sample is accompanied by a fragment of fine linen that has the same pattern and is finished., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1925 - c. 1929, linen (material), h 21 cm × w 14 cm
