Fragment of lace, lace, 17th/18th century, Belgium, fabric lace, width 34 cm, length 67 cm, A rectangular piece of openwork fabric with a lacy, net-like background and an overlaid ornate pattern, shown against a plain light gray background; the textile is primarily metallic gold in color with variations in tone where the threads form denser motifs, and there are areas of darker gold giving subtle contrast; the lace edges are irregular and scalloped, and the patterned sections form a repeating series of rounded and diamond-like shapes created from thicker, textured gold threads; overall the piece appears thin and delicate with visible holes in the net and slight fraying at the borders.
