Bobbin Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, narrow piece of off-white bobbin lace edging. The lace features repeating patterns and shapes. The top edge has a zig-zag or scalloped design with small, rounded points. The main body of the lace consists of intricate, interconnected loops and curves. Below the top edge, there are rows of loops and floral motifs; the loops form figure-eight shapes and the floral motifs resemble flowers. The bottom edge features a repeating pattern of teardrop shapes with lace filigree. The background of the image is solid black. The style and design suggest traditional European lace. The lace appears delicate and ornate. The lace seems to be hanging.
