Strip of needle lace with border pattern of little ovals and rosette flowers, Strip of natural colored needle lace: Alençon lace. The strip consists of two narrow strips that are put together lengthwise. The upper and narrowest strip consists of an unadorned mesh ground, with meshes slightly larger than those of the lower strip. The decoration of this strip with smaller meshes consists of a repeating pattern that also forms the flat shell edge, with a succession of elongated oval and rose flowers and semi-oval cartouches. Here and there spring from the border pattern small leaf branches with oval leaves. The full work is made with festival stitches without recesses and the motifs are provided with relief contour lines. The cartouches used as a decorative ground were a grid with radar picots and a coarser ground with painted diamond-shaped meshes., anonymous, France, c. 1800 - c. 1899, linen (material), Alençon lace, l 87 cm × w 2.7 cm ×, 10.5 cm
