Needlepoint (Point Alençon) Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, rectangular piece of white lace on a black background. The lace is made up of intricate floral patterns and small flowers. The top edge of the lace is straight, while the bottom edge is scalloped. The lace appears to be made of a delicate, net-like material with a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves. The flowers are small and intricately designed, with details that give them a textured appearance. The background of the image is solid black, which helps to highlight the details of the lace. The lace appears to be a type of needlepoint lace, specifically a type known as "Point Alençon".
