Needlepoint (Reticella) Lace Insertion

Cleveland Museum of Art

Off-white rectangular piece of lace with intricate floral and curvilinear designs. The lace features a repeating pattern of interconnected curvy lines and loops. The top and bottom edges have a straight border made of small loops. The lace appears to be made of a thin, possibly cotton or silk, off-white thread. The background is solid black. The style appears to be Reticella, a type of needlepoint lace. The overall design resembles an organic, web-like structure with floral motifs.
