Bobbin Lace Insertion and Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

White bobbin lace with a floral and geometric design on a black background. The lace is horizontal and rectangular. The top edge is scalloped with small rounded scallops. The center section features repeating patterns of interconnected floral motifs and geometric shapes. Below the center section, a row of 7 pointed, triangular motifs with floral details hang down, each ending in a small tassel. The lace appears to be made of a white thread, possibly cotton or linen. The background is solid black, providing high contrast to the white lace.
