Strip of needle lace with hanging hearts, Strip of natural colored needle lace: Brussels lace. The repeating pattern consists of large semicircular shells formed by connected c-volutes. Above each volute is a single rose with a halo of short twigs with berries. The switching points between the volutes are formed by oval medallions, which are decorated with a leaf crown. From the leaf crown comes a fine sling that runs with a bow over the rose to the next medallion. The scallop edge is formed by hanging heart-shaped leaves under the volutes, alternating with three hanging daisies below the medallions. The motifs are made up of festival stitches and have embossed contours. The roses have relief leaves. The motifs are connected to each other by a fine mesh soil, a mesh lace soil, on which some pouches have been applied. Decorative stitches are used in the roses and medallions. The top of the strip is finished straight., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1880, linen (material), Brussels point de gaze, l 72 cm × w 8.5 cm ×, 11 cm
