Bobbin and Needlepoint Lace Lappet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bobbin and Needlepoint Lace Lappet by its creator is a long, horizontal piece of white lace against a black background. The lace is intricately designed with floral patterns and leaves. The top and bottom edges of the lace are scalloped. The lace is made up of a repeating pattern of flowers, leaves, and stems. The flowers are of various sizes and are scattered throughout the lace. The leaves are teardrop-shaped and have a pointed tip. The stems are thin and curved. The lace is symmetrical, with the same pattern repeated on both sides of the center. The background is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the white lace.
