Strip of bobbin lace with concatenated slanting rectangles, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Mechelen side. Under a scattering pattern of hanging round flowers with one leaf lies a decorative band along the underside of the strip, which is constructed with concatenated and slightly oblique rectangles. The edges of the rounded rectangles are thin branches with whimsical leaves. The lower edge forms a curl inwards, from which a sprig of round leaves springs and fills the center of the rectangle. Between the successive rectangles, a narrow, open-worked edge is filled with little oval-shaped oval strips, without contour threads. The motifs are connected by a nice mesh ground, a Mechelen ground. The sparingly full work is made in linen with thicker and shiny contour threads. The top of the strip is finished with a separately clotted strap. The underside is probably straight finished and provided with picots, but this is not visible anymore due to limited damage., Salvator Mundi ', making a blessing gesture, an orb in his hand or at his feet, anonymous, Mechelen, c. 1875 - c. 1899, cotton (textile), Mechlin (lace), l 26 cm × w 7.5 cm ×, 2.3 cm
