Strip of bobbin lace with bows and loose flower sprays, Strip of natural-colored Brussels bobbin lace. The repeating pattern consists of arcs, wherein a symmetrical arc is alternated by two asymmetrical arcs mirrored together. In the fields under the arches and in between there is always a large loose flower branch and a few loose flowers or leaves. The pattern along the underside of the strip consists of a succession of different forms of cartouches, elongated leaves and rosette flowers. The motifs are connected to each other by a fine mesh soil, a drizzle soil. The motifs are made in linen with open-worked edges and are largely provided with clotted relief contours. Various decorative grounds have been used, mainly in the cartouches along the bottom and in some flower hearts. The upper side is finished with a separately cloned strap. The faintly scalloped bottom comes from the pattern with the cartouches and is finished with picots., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1740 - c. 1760, linen (material), Brussels bobbin lace, l 115 cm × w 8 cm ×, 73 cm
