Object Details
- Description
- This border is made in the Point d’Angleterre technique combining bobbin and needle lace. The details in the intricate floral pattern indicate highly skilled designer and lace makers. The lily flower motifs embellishing the outer edge are made with alternating bobbin lace and needle lace with centers of bobbin made veined leaves and needle made centers. The ground, also called reseau, is made in the point de gaze style needle lace with tiny rings. This late 19th century cotton lace is of very good quality. A machine made entre-deux is added.
