Strip of bobbin lace with rounded triangular scallops, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, blonde. The strip has a slightly curved shape. The repeating pattern begins with a slanting branch that curls at the bottom. There is a round flower on each side of the branch with six rectangular petals. Three different, rounded triangles hang down under the branch like scallops. A curved pillar always protrudes straight up from the underside of the strip after every third scallop and thus forms a separation between the successive branches. Above the pattern, the strip consists of a fine mesh soil, a tulip soil. An ornamental soil is used under the branches and in the pillars, a rose soil. The motifs are made in linen with a recess in the flower hearts and in each triangular shell. A particularly thick contour thread is used to accentuate the pillars and the triangular shells in a continuous line. The branches are not provided with a contour thread. The top of the strip is finished straight. The triangular scallop edge is finished with very fine picots that are attached to the contour thread., anonymous, France, c. 1800 - c. 1815, silk, blonde (lace), l 93 cm × w 10.8 cm ×, 8.5 cm
