Bobbin Lace Lappet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bobbin Lace Lappet by an unknown artist is a long, off-white piece of lace with a repeating pattern. The lace has a scalloped edge on both long sides. The pattern consists of interconnected floral motifs and curved lines. The floral motifs are symmetrical and feature detailed petals and leaves. The background of the lace features small, evenly spaced holes arranged in a grid-like formation. The lace appears to be made from a delicate, intricate weave. The solid black background provides contrast to highlight the lace's details. The overall design of the lace is ornate and delicate. The lace's width is approximately one-sixth of its length. The lace's color is off-white or cream.
