Strip of bobbin lace with oval flowers and drop shapes between volutes, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: old Brabant lace. The pattern has two alternating and overlapping symmetrical compositions. One composition consists of an oval flower topped by a heart-shaped flower between two s-volutes. The other composition consists of a drop-shaped motif, above which an inverted oval flower hangs between two c-volutes. The motifs are connected by a lattice ground, a round Valenciennes ground. The full work is largely made in linen stroke with cut-outs and openwork edges and partly in net stroke. A large variety of decorative grounds has been used in the motifs. The top is finished straight. The irregular scallop edge at the bottom comes from the pattern and is finished with picots. One short side is finished with a separately banded strap., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1725 - c. 1749, linen (material), old Brabant lace, l 84 cm × w 18 cm ×, 48.5 cm
