Needlepoint (Point Alençon) Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, narrow piece of off-white lace against a black background. The lace features an intricate floral pattern with curved lines and shapes, including flowers, leaves, and stems. The lace appears to be made of a delicate, open-weave fabric. The lace has a scalloped edge along the bottom, with a more uniform edge along the top. The floral pattern is repeated throughout the length of the lace, which is presented horizontally across the image.
