Needlepoint and Bobbin Lace (Mezzo Punto) Flounce

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, off-white piece of intricately designed lace. The lace is made up of small holes and patterns created by needlepoint and bobbin lace techniques, specifically mezzo punto. It has a delicate, textured appearance and is laid flat against a solid black background. The lace flounce has two short, rectangular extensions on either end that are folded over. The main body of the lace is long and rectangular, with a repeating pattern throughout. The entire piece appears to be a decorative element, possibly for clothing or home decor. The title of the piece, "Needlepoint and Bobbin Lace (Mezzo Punto) Flounce," is associated with this image of the lace.
