Needlepoint Lace (Argentan Type) Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of off-white needlepoint lace edging, specifically of the Argentan type. The lace is rectangular with a scalloped bottom edge. The top edge is mostly straight but has some fraying on the right side. The lace features a floral design with flowers, leaves, and stems. The flowers have multiple petals and are scattered throughout the lace. The leaves are teardrop-shaped and vary in size. The stems are thin and curved. The background of the lace is made up of small, evenly spaced hexagonal holes. The lace is set against a solid black background.
