Tea tablecloth made of bobbin lace with four-pointed star in diamond-shaped grid, Tea tablecloth made of natural-colored bobbin lace: Cluny lace. Square model with deep scallop edge. The outline of a four-pointed star is in the square midfield, in a very open diamond-shaped grid. There is a straight frame with a braided ground around the square midfield, the braids forming full and half circles, which results in a sort of spider web pattern. The repeating pattern of the broad outer edge forms deep scallops and consists of a row of fan-shaped flowers with seven petals. There is an oval shell of braids under each flower, finished with pointed lobes. In the oval shell a thin stem with narrow oval-shaped leaves on either side made in a wrap. This motif with leafs in form stroke also originates from the right frame and then stands between the flowers, with a more or less rectangular surface underneath, including a fan like shell, finished with pointed lobes. The motifs are made in net and linen and are connected to each other by a braid ground. Forming stroke is applied in leaves in the outer edge pattern and as part of the diamond-shaped grid., L.
