Strip of spool lace with horizontal heart pattern, Strip of natural spool of lace. We worked with thick wires. The one-sided pattern consists of horizontal, loose hearts. The hearts are connected by a lattice ground, a round Valenciennes ground. Four adjacent hearts are made in net stroke. To the left and right of this is a heart whose border is made of linen and which is filled with a decorative ground, a five-hole ground. Half hearts can be seen on the short sides on both sides, because the strip is cut off here. Along the top and bottom of the strip a narrow decorative band is made: in the top edge a straight band in linen stroke with large recesses above it and in the bottom edge a straight band in linen stroke with a row of rectangular blocks in linen stroke below with recesses in between., anonymous, Germany (possibly), c. 1850 - c. 1899, linen (material), bobbin lace, l 40 cm × w 9 cm
