Strip of bobbin lace with slanting bands of concatenated cartouches, Strip of natural-colored Brussels bobbin lace. The symmetrical pattern consists of slanted bands of a few connected cartouches. Two of these bands with rocaille-like cartouches form a V-shape in the middle of the strip. In parallel, three full cartouches form an oblique band with a bunch of forget-me-nots at the end and a bunch with double calyx flowers at the bottom. The pattern on the underside is furthermore formed by a concatenation of ovals, rosette flowers and four cartouches. This pattern continues in the short sides. The motifs are largely made in linen with openwork edges and some cut-outs, they are partly in net stroke. Many motifs are provided with cloned relief contours. The motifs are connected to each other by a fine mesh soil, a drizzle soil. Various decorative grounds have been used, in particular in the cartouches, including a painted braided soil and a coarser hexagonal grid. The upper side is finished with a separately cloned strap. The faint scallops along the underside and short sides are finished with picots, anonymous, Brussels, c. 1750, linen (material), Brussels bobbin lace, l 70 cm × w 5.5 cm
