Needlepoint Lace Lappet

Cleveland Museum of Art

White needlepoint lace on a black background. The lace is long and tapered, wider in the middle and narrower at both ends. The lace features a repeating pattern of oval shapes with floral motifs inside, outlined by a series of small knots and loops. The ovals are connected by curved lines that form a wavy, continuous design. The floral motifs within the ovals are symmetrical and consist of small flowers or leaves. The entire piece is made of white thread or yarn. The background is solid black. The lace appears to be a type of lappet, titled "Needlepoint Lace Lappet".
