Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of white bobbin lace, specifically a lappet known as "Point d'Angleterre". The lace is long and rectangular with a wavy bottom edge. The lace has a floral design featuring flowers and leaves in a repeating pattern. The background of the lace is a light gray color with a mesh-like texture. The lace is set against a solid black background. The lace appears to have a dense and intricate design with a scalloped edge. The flowers and leaves are made up of several curved parts. The lace has a symmetrical design with similar patterns on either side. Small oval-shaped sections of the mesh background are visible between the floral designs. The lace tapers slightly towards the right end.
