Cuff made from application lace with a floral branch and decorative frame, Cuff made from natural Brussels application lace: mixed lace - bobbin lace with a needle lace decorative soil - appliqué on machine tulle. Striped model with a widening in the middle. Symmetrical pattern of a cleaved branch with flowers and leaves and a rose in the middle, applied on machine tulle. The motifs are made in linen with sparingly applied cut-outs and with thin, shiny contour threads. Wire bundles provide relief contours that accentuate petals and leaf veins. This pattern is framed by a wide decorative band along the short side and bottom. From the inside to the outside, this frame consists of a slightly wavy chain of concatenated ovals, applied to the machine tulle. Then a double clasped frame between which is a diamond-shaped ornamental ground of needle lace, with dots and wheel icons at the intersections. The outer, cloaked, frame consists of concatenated half rings with elongated oval rings below, which are alternately clotted in linen and net. The ovals are separated by embossed contour threads and ensure a fine scalloped edge along the collar. Behind the outer frame, some machine grommet is still visible. The tulle has probably been behind the entire cuff and the decorative soil has been cut away behind the needle side., anonymous, Brussels, c. 1870 - c. 1890, linen (material), mixed lace, h cm × w cm
