Strip of spool lace with interrupted diamond-shaped fields and candelabra motifs, Strip of natural spool of lace, old Binche lace. The repetitive and thin pattern consists of interrupted diamond-shaped fields, formed by four obliquely placed flowers. There is a symmetrical candelabrum motif in the field, with an inverted heart-shaped center. A smaller candelabrum motif stands on the center line between the successive diamond-shaped fields. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground, a borehole grate. And they are made in linen stroke with openwork edges and in net stroke. A few snowflakes were used as part of the motifs and a decorative ground was used in the centers of the candelabrum motifs, among other things. The top and bottom of the strip are finished straight, with the bottom provided with picots. The picot edge seems to be made from a different thread and may have been turned on later. The whole gives the impression that the strip was once wider., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1690 - c. 1710, linen (material), old Binche lace, l 184 cm × w 7 cm ×, 11 cm
