Bobbin Lace Lappet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image displays a long, narrow piece of bobbin lace with a repeating pattern. The lace is light beige or off-white in color and features a floral design with various shapes and motifs. The lace has a scalloped edge along both long sides. The lace pattern consists of repeating sections with symmetrical floral motifs and geometric shapes. The background of the image is black. The lace appears to be a lappet, which is a decorative piece that was historically worn on the head or as a trim. The lappet design and style are attributed to an unknown artist. The overall appearance of the lace suggests it may be an antique or vintage piece, likely from the 18th or 19th century. The image presents the lace against a solid black background.
