At the bottom center is a large asymmetrical bouquet, in the corners two angular bouquets, arranged symmetrically with respect to each other. This contains screen flowers, possibly fennel. Tiny stringed garlands of three deep arches move between the top of the center bouquet and the smaller bouquets in the side edges. The scallop edges are thickened from the center at the bottom with lobed and hollowly scalloped medallions, between which c-volutes are huddled together with open grid fillings and campane contours., anonymous, Caen (possibly), c. 1840 - c. 1850, silk, bobbin lace, h 225 cm × w 136 cm
