Strip of bobbin lace with decorative bands and hanging carnation, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, Binche lace. The repeating pattern consists of decorative bands that create two different lobed fields. In one field there is a loose, curved branch, with a large hanging carnation, two upward-facing rosette flowers and a bunch of five berries. In the other field, from a halved fan-shaped flower, a calyx flower hangs down the top of a curved stalk. The motifs are connected by a lattice ground, a five-hole ground. The motifs are made in linen with cutouts and openwork edges. Two different decorative grounds were used in the decorative bands, with rosette motifs and circular motifs in it, whether or not in a checkered pattern. The top of the strip is finished with a separately clotted strap, with coarser threads. The very faintly scalloped underside is messy and does not seem to be part of the original pattern, the thread with picots is very different from the threads from the bobbin work., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1725 - c. 1749, linen (material), Binche lace, l 265 cm × w 5.5 cm ×, 16.7 cm
