Lace fragment, lace strip finished with flat arched teeth on one side and straight on the other. In the divisions corresponding to the teeth, an alternating flower calyx and a rhombus motif are placed, separated by parenthetical geometric forms. 18th century, France. Materials: lace, fabric. Dimensions: width 17.5 cm, length 308 cm., A horizontal strip of decorative textile with an open net-like background in gray and a repeating embroidered pattern in golden-yellow; the embroidered motifs include sweeping curved shapes, umbrella-like forms, diamond-shaped lattice elements, floral or leaf clusters, and scalloped lower edges with fringe. The net background appears slightly translucent and gray, while the embroidery thread is a metallic golden-yellow that outlines and fills the motifs, creating contrast between the two colors. The textile shows some loose threads and small irregularities along the top and bottom edges, and the overall composition runs horizontally across a neutral gray backdrop.
