Strip of bobbin lace with omega-shaped decorative band cut over by a plume and peonies, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Mechelen lace. The repetitive and continuous pattern consists of a decorative band in the shape of the Greek capital omega. This is cut on one side by a slanting downward plume and from the top by a lush leaf from which two peonies spring. The plume that crosses the subsequent omega originates from the top of these peonies. The motifs are connected by a fine mesh soil. The motifs are made in linen with few cutouts but with openwork edges. In, among other things, the decorative band and the three oval medallions in the plume, the entire work is made in net stroke. Contour lines have been applied around the motifs with slightly thicker and shiny thread. Ornamental soil has been placed in residual spaces between leaves and flowers, a snowflakes soil. The faintly scalloped bottom comes from the pattern and is finished with picots. The top is finished straight., anonymous, Mechelen, c. 1740 - c. 1760, linen (material), Mechlin (lace), l 220 cm × w 5 cm ×, 12.5 cm
