Needlepoint (Point Alençon) Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, horizontal strip of beige lace on a black background. The lace has a repeating pattern of interlocking curved lines and floral motifs. The top edge of the lace is straight while the bottom edge is scalloped. The lace appears to be made of a delicate, intricate design with a floral theme. The color of the lace is a light beige or off-white hue. The background of the image is solid black. The lace trim is likely an example of "Point Alençon" as referenced by the title.
