Strip of spool lace with capriciously framed cartouche and three-lobed motif, Strip of natural spool of lace: Mechelen side. The repetitive pattern consists of a succession of a trapezoidal cartouche with a whimsical frame and a whimsical elongated three-lobed motif. The motifs lie against the bottom edge and the cartouches fill almost the entire strip to the top. They are connected by a nice mesh soil. The motifs are made in linen with thicker and shiny contour threads. A decorative soil with coarser meshes has been used in the cartouches.
