Needlepoint (Burano Point) Lace Edging

Cleveland Museum of Art

Needlepoint (Burano Point) Lace Edging by an unknown artist. The image shows a piece of off-white lace with a repeating pattern of four-petaled flowers. The lace has a narrow border along the top edge with a zigzag or scalloped design. Below the top border, the lace features a series of small, evenly spaced flowers with four petals each. The bottom edge of the lace has a more intricate design with larger flowers and leaves. The flowers at the bottom have a circular shape with a dense, woven center and a leafy stem. The background of the image is solid black. The lace appears to be made of a delicate, woven material. The edges of the lace are rough and uneven.
