Bobbin Lace Insertion without Selvage

Cleveland Museum of Art

White bobbin lace with a repeating pattern of interconnected floral motifs and curved branches. The lace has a dense, intricate design with many small holes and loops. The top and bottom edges are irregular, with a wavy pattern formed by the curved branches. The lace is long and narrow, with a thread or yarn tail visible on the left side. The background is solid black. The lace appears to be an example of traditional bobbin lace insertion without a selvage, as indicated by the title.
