Needlepoint (Reticella) Lace Band

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Needlepoint Lace Band by an unknown artist depicts a long, thin, rectangular piece of off-white lace against a black background. The lace consists of intricate, interwoven patterns. The pattern features repeating shapes, including diamonds and four-pointed stars. The diamonds and stars are connected by curved lines and small loops. The lace has a scalloped edge along the top and bottom. The top and bottom edges have a more textured, bumpy appearance. The background is solid black with no visible texture or features. The lace appears to be made from a single, continuous thread. The overall design is symmetrical and features repeating patterns.
