Strip of bobbin lace with a branch that forms two openwork ovals, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Lille lace. The repeating pattern consists of a flower branch that forms two openwork ovals. One along the bottom of the strip and directly above it the other on the center line between the leaves. On one side, a branch with three rosette flowers springs from it. A fourth rosette flower hangs on a stem down to the bottom of the strip under an arch of six square moses. Above the branches are two rows of twigs. The motifs are connected to each other by a fine grid, a lawn. They are made in linen with a few large cut-outs and with thicker, shiny contour threads. In the ovals along the underside, a rose ground is used as decorative ground and in the ovals on the center line, a snow ground. The square pouches are made in shape. The top of the strip is finished straight. The faintly scalloped bottom is finished with picots., anonymous, Lille, c. 1850, cotton (textile), Lille lace, l 198 cm × w 8.5 cm ×, 8.1
