Needlepoint Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a white piece of needlepoint lace edging. The lace is rectangular and horizontally oriented. The top edge of the lace is straight. The bottom edge of the lace is scalloped with a repeating pattern of rounded points. The lace features a repeating design of a central motif resembling a stacked tiered cake or tower flanked by symmetrical curved shapes on either side. The lace has a mesh-like background with a grid pattern. The entire lace piece is on a black background. The style of the lace suggests it may be antique. The lace appears to be made by hand. The image of the lace appears in shades of gray and white only.
