Strip of spool lace with hanging leaf branch, Natural spool of lace strip: Mechelen side. Under a scattering pattern of one-sided twigs with always one round flower attached to it, the repeating pattern of the scallop edge consists of a curved twig. A substantial composite flower hangs down between two leaflets on this twig. The flower consists of a drop-shaped flower heart surrounded by a half wreath of five rosette flowers. In this way, each successive flower forms a semicircular shell. The motifs are made in linen and provided with thicker and shiny contour threads. The motifs are connected by a fine grid ground, a Mechelen ground. A coarser ornamental soil is used in the drop-shaped flower hearts with cubes made in shaping. The scallop edge is finished with picots. The top of the strip is finished straight., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1820 - c. 1830, linen (material), Mechlin (lace), l 60 cm × w 8 cm ×, 3.8 cm
