Needlepoint (Point de France) Lace Edging

The image shows a long, narrow strip of white lace on a black background. The lace is a Point de France type of needlepoint lace. The strip is horizontal and runs across the top part of the image. It has a repeating pattern featuring floral motifs and scroll-like designs. The lace features a dense arrangement of interwoven threads forming the intricate design. The bottom edge of the lace has a wavy, scalloped pattern. The background is solid black, providing high contrast to the white lace. The lace appears to be antique, and the title suggests it may be an example of 17th or 18th-century European lace.
