Strip of bobbin lace with wavy flower and leaf tendril, Interposition of natural-colored bobbin lace: Flanders lace. The repeating and continuous pattern consists of wavy flower and leaf tendrils. A broad leaf with pointed ends forms a half wave, from which a drop-shaped flower originates. The other half of each wave consists of a more or less oval-shaped, narrower leaf from which curling leaves spring and a bouquet of three rosette flowers. The motifs are largely made in linen with openwork edges and here and there fine cut-outs. The motifs are connected by a five-hole ground. Snowflake grounds were used as decorative ground and in the broad leaf with pointed ends a net-blow filling was applied containing five circles in linen. The top and bottom of the strip are straight finished and provided with picots. A strip of linen is attached along one of the long sides, a fragment of bedding. A third of the seam between the strip of linen and the insert is released. The lace is probably made in the Southern Netherlands, the demolition probably in the Northern Netherlands., anonymous, Northern Netherlands, c. 1730 - c. 1760, linen (material), Flanders lace, l 64.2 cm × w 6 cm l 63.5, × w 4, ×, 11.5
