Handkerchief of batist with a strip of bobbin lace around with rivière, Handkerchief of batist with a strip of natural-colored bobbin lace around: Mechelen lace. The strip of bobbin lace is wrinkled in the corners. The asymmetrical lace pattern is on a very fine lattice ground, a Mechelen ground (also called ice ground). A whimsical rivière, composed of S and C volutes and leaves, delimits the mesh net on which individual motifs alternate, one is a rose branch, the other a halved medallion. On the outside are erratic reserves with gridwork formed by the river and by leaves and rosettes., anony
