Strip of spool lace cartouches between slanted turned tires, Strip of natural Brussels spool lace. The pattern consists of three arches of slanted twisted bands topped by a lobed cartridge and connected at the bottom by a bell-shaped cartridge.

A flower branch hangs down from the cartouche in each arch. Three separate flower branches hang between the arches. The motifs are largely made in linen with openwork edges, but otherwise with few
