Strip of spool lace with mirrored s-volutes between which a flower branch hangs, Strip of natural-colored Brussels spool lace. The repeating pattern consists of slanted and mirrored s-volutes, between which a flower branch hangs down. The openwork volutes are alternately wide and narrow and there are four variations in flower sprays. The pattern on the bottom consists of garlands of flowers with pointed leaves and some feather-shaped leaves. The motifs are connected by a fine mesh ground - a drochel ground - and under the wide volutes with a coarser hexagonal mesh ground. The full work is largely made in linen stroke with cut-outs and openwork edges and partly in net stroke. Most motifs are provided with cloned relief contours. Various ornamental grounds have been used, including painted braided grounds, a snowflake ground and an ornamental ground with a diamond-shaped pattern. The upper side is finished with a separately cloned strap. The irregular scalloped underside comes from the pattern with the flower garlands and is finished with picots. The short sides are finished with a hem., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1740 - c. 1760, linen (material), Brussels bobbin lace, l 7.5 cm × w 147 cm ×, 55 cm
