Strip or collar of needle lace with symmetrical pattern with flowers and curling feathered leaves, Strip or collar of natural colored needle lace: Venetian embossed lace. Symmetrical and rich pattern with flowers and curling feathered leaves. In the middle of the strip is a candelabrum motif from which a branch comes down on both sides and then curls with a large bow and ends in an exotic flower with a four-lobed flower heart. Similar flowers return next to the curling and volute-forming feathered leaves in the rest of the pattern. The motifs are made with festival stitches, with recesses and many types of decorative stitches providing nuances. The motifs are provided with relief contours. In the flower hearts and around the outside of some larger leaves, cordons decorated with picots have been used for extra relief. The motifs are connected to each other by a barbed ground. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight, with the bottom provided with picots. The short sides are finished straight and extended with a narrow strip of needle lace that is sewn perpendicular to the long strip., anonymous, Venice, c. 1650 - c. 1674 and/or c. 1885 - c. 1899, linen (material), Venetian raised work, l 120 cm × w 10.2 cm
