Strip of bobbin lace with concatenated round peonies, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Flanders lace. The repetitive and symmetrical pattern consists of a succession of more or less round and stylized peonies. Around each switching point of the successive flowers there are always two calyx flowers, each on a short thick stem and mirrored to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis. The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges and some fine cut-outs. The motifs are placed close together and are connected to each other by short braids, which seem to form the beginning of a lattice ground. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight and on both sides a strip of linen is attached containing a narrow strip of work with contracted threads. The lace is probably made in the Southern Netherlands, the demolition probably in the Northern Netherlands., anonymous, Northern Netherlands, c. 1740 - c. 1760, geheel, Flanders lace, l 18 cm × w 6.8 cm l 17.5 cm × w 4 cm ×, 4 cm
