Needlepoint (Reticella) and Bobbin Lace Pillow Case

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular pillowcase with a wide border around a central panel. The border is made of intricate white lace with a floral pattern. The lace is dense and has a repeating design, with no visible gaps. The central panel is a plain off-white fabric, possibly linen. The pillowcase has a flat, smooth appearance with no visible texture or pattern on the central panel. The background behind the pillowcase is a solid light gray color. The lace border appears to be made of two techniques: a white reticella needlepoint in the center of the border and white bobbin lace on the outside edge.
