Strip of spool lace with star in heart-shaped shell and circle, Natural spool of lace strip, Cluny lace. The original strip has been used or intended for furniture, a part of the pattern can be seen on the short piece that has survived. The upper half of this pattern consists of a circle with a band with a diamond-shaped contour with rounded corners, with a star in the center. Below the circle the contour is made of a heart, the curves of which turn into oblique c-volutes. In the center of the heart is also a star made with braids. Along the underside of the heart and the c-volutes a wide band has been made, which forms the edge of the large lobed and heart-shaped shell. Like the band of the circle, this band is made with alternating linen and net strokes. The narrower straps with which, among other things, the diamond, the heart and the c-volutes are formed, are made in linen with openwork edges. The motifs are connected to each other by a braid ground of double and painted braids. The top of the strip is finished straight. The large lobed shell on the bottom is finished with picots., anonymous, France (possibly), c. 1925 - c. 1932, linen (material), Cluny lace, l 18 cm × w 24 cm
