Strip of bobbin lace made after Italian example from the 17th century, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: ribbon lace. Made after Italian example from the 17th century. The repetitive and symmetrical pattern consists of scallops of five-lobed fan-shaped leaves formed by a continuous winding ribbon. The ribbon is made of linen with openwork edges on one side, which is also provided with picots. The top of the strip is finished straight. The insert is probably intended for or used in a bed sheet or pillowcase. The pattern of bobbin lace is geometric and consists of double crosses and diamonds. The repetitive and geometric pattern consists of a symmetrical V-shaped motif that extends from the bottom to the top of the strip. The broad line that forms the motif is divided into rectangles that are made alternately in linen and mesh strokes and are surrounded by thicker contour threads. The triangular space in the V-shaped motif is closed. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground, a borehole grate. In between the successive V-shaped motifs, a diamond-shaped motif has been created in the mesh ground without any contour threads, with a network of larger meshes and nine small motifs in linen. The top of the strip is finished straight. The faint scallop edge along the underside comes from a succession of fan motifs, which are finished with picots., anonymous, Italy, c. 1900 - c. 1920, linen (material), tape lace (bobbin lace), l 28 cm × w 5.5 cm ×, 7.5 cm
