Strip of machine side with cartouches formed by curly thin branches, Strip of natural-colored machine side: machine side of Mechelen. The strip is cut from a wider piece, so that the pattern along the top is incomplete. Under the incomplete pattern, the repeating and rich pattern consists of curly thin branches with different shapes of leaves and some rosette flowers. These branches always form a drop-shaped cartouche on the center line and a more or less half oval-shaped cartouche along the underside of the strip. The motifs are provided with contour threads and they are connected to each other by a very fine machine ground, strewn with very fine seeds in groups of four. Coarse decorative soils have been used in the cartouches. The top of the strip is sloppily cut off and finished with a messy wide hem. The shell edge along the underside of the strip stems from the rich pattern of branches with different leaves and a single flower., anonymous, Europe, c. 1900, cotton (textile), l 57 cm × w 13.5 cm ×, 14 cm
