Strip of bobbin lace with an incomplete pattern of a flower and two leaves, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Mechelen lace. The pattern consists of a curved leaf, which occupies almost the entire width of the strip, with a smaller heart-shaped leaf on which a flower with a curved stem originates. The short strip does not show a complete pattern, it is cut where the flower ends and on the other hand it is cut straight through a motif. The motifs in the incomplete pattern are connected by a fine grid, a five-hole base. The motifs are made in linen with cutouts, and with thicker and shiny contour threads. Under the curved stem, an ornamental soil has been applied, a fine snowflakes soil. The faintly scalloped bottom comes from the pattern and is finished with picots. The top is finished straight., anonymous, Mechelen, c. 1700 - c. 1799, linen (material), Mechlin (lace), l 6 cm × w 1.6 cm
