Needlepoint (Reticella) Lace Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

White rectangular piece of fabric with a solid center and intricate lace trim around the edges. The center piece is smooth with a visible weave and a slightly off-white color. The lace trim is made up of repeating floral patterns with geometric shapes, arranged in rows. The lace is a cream color, similar to the center fabric but slightly lighter. The lace trim borders the center fabric on all four sides, with a delicate pattern of interlocking flowers and leaves. The background behind the fabric is solid black. The overall shape of the fabric is square.
