Fragment of Needlepoint (Cutwork) Lace

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of Needlepoint (Cutwork) Lace by Unknown Artist. White or cream-colored lace fragment with an intricate design on a solid black background. The lace features a delicate pattern of interconnected floral and geometric shapes. The lace appears to be made from a single piece of fabric with cut-out sections. The top and one side of the lace are unfinished and frayed, while the bottom edge is a straight stitched line. The overall design resembles a leaf or branch structure. The lace is made of a thick thread or yarn, giving it a textured appearance.
