Border with Renaissance Motif, early 19th century. Italy, early 19th century. Needle lace, machine-made burato (twined ground and darned in one direction); bleached linen (est.); overall: x cm (12 1/4 x 117 1/16 in.). A scrolling vine or a tendril motif is a recurring pattern in needle lace. The frequent use of the motif, adapted in lace from different centuries and regions, suggests that it may have been inspired by a design in a printed pattern book.
