Embroidered Machine Lace Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

White embroidered machine lace handkerchief by an unknown artist. The handkerchief is square-shaped with a wavy edge around its perimeter. The center features a large, light-gray square made of smooth fabric. Surrounding the central square is an intricate design of floral patterns and leaves in white lace. The lace design consists of various shapes, including flowers, leaves, and small geometric patterns. The outer edge of the handkerchief has a scalloped border with a repeating pattern of small flowers and circles. The background of the handkerchief is a mesh-like fabric that provides a subtle texture to the overall design. The handkerchief is set against a solid black background.
