Strip of bobbin lace with two triangular compositions placed against each other, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, Binche lace. The repetitive and thin pattern consists of two different compositions, both symmetrical and triangular. The oblique lines of the one composition consist of V-shaped leaves pushed together. An inverted heart forms the top of the triangle, which is crowned by two large feathered volute leaves. In the other composition, such volute leaves create the oblique lines of the triangle, which is crowned by a not clearly definable, composite motif. There is a candelabrum motif in both triangular fields. The motifs are made in linen strokes with openwork edges and in net strokes. They are connected by a lattice ground, a five-hole ground. Various decorative grounds have been applied, including in the heart, in one of the candelabra motifs and under c-volutes. The top of the strip is finished straight. The faintly scalloped bottom is finished with picots. The scallops do not seem to be part of the original pattern, the motifs from the bottom are broken off by it and the picots are made with a different thread., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1690 - c. 1710, linen (material), Binche lace, l 560 cm × w 6.2 cm ×, 12.6 cm
