Cloth with Border of Vegetal Pattern, 19th century. Italy, 19th century. Plain weave linen with needle lace, filet/lacis (knotted ground and darned in two directions); bleached linen (est.); overall: 91 x cm (35 13/16 x 55 13/16 in.). A scrolling vine with budding vegetation 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 was found in a pattern book.
