Lace fragment, metal threads, 18th century, Europe, lace fabric, width 8.2 cm, length 27.5 cm., A decorative length of lace with an intricate openwork pattern lies horizontally across a solid background; the lace shows a repeating scalloped design made of interlaced threads forming fanlike and circular motifs, with areas of dense stitching and more open netted sections, and small reflective elements woven into some parts. The visible colors are pale beige or off-white for the lace, metallic-silver highlights where the reflective elements catch light, and a muted medium gray for the background.
