Strip of bobbin lace with a peony between two curved leaves, Strip of natural-colored Dutch bobbin lace. The repetitive and symmetrical pattern consists of a peony between two upwardly bending leaves, which spring from underneath the flower. The motifs are connected by a sparingly used irregular grid. The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges. The top and bottom are straight finished, with picots on one side. A darker thread runs through parts of the pattern, according to an apparently random pattern. This was probably caused during the coloring of the strip, whereby the dye is absorbed better by some threads than by others., anonymous, Antwerp (possibly), c. 1685 - c. 1699, linen (material), bobbin lace, l 217 cm × w 2.5 cm ×, 6.5 cm
