Handkerchief with a border of needle lace with amorets, Handkerchief with a border of natural colored needle lace: Brussels gauze lace. A wide edge with a virtually symmetrical pattern runs around a round batiste middle section. There are sixteen openworked pointed ovals in a circle on an extremely fine, mushroom-covered fond. Along the sides runs a broad, brace-shaped branch, starting from a motif shaped like a French lily, that cuts the circle of the batist. The branches turn into a circular scalloped edge of palmetal flowers. Outside this circle there are large pointed shells in the corners
Handkerchief with a border of needle lace with amorets, Handkerchief with a border of natural colored needle lace: Brussels gauze lace. A wide edge with a virtually symmetrical pattern runs around a round batiste middle section. There are sixteen openworked pointed ovals in a circle on an extremely fine, mushroom-covered fond. Along the sides runs a broad, brace-shaped branch, starting from a motif shaped like a French lily, that cuts the circle of the batist. The branches turn into a circular scalloped edge of palmetal flowers. Outside this circle there are large pointed shells in the corners that are enclosed by two lobe ornaments. There is an oval shield with a T in one of the corners, enclosed by a rolling cart and covered by a crown. To the left is a winged amoret with an arrow in the raised hand, the point of which is pointing downwards and which continues upwards in a branch and a torch. In the other corners is an amoret climbing into an asymmetrical spiral., anonymous, Germany (possibly), c. 1830 - c. 1840, linen (material), Brussels point de gaze, h 45 cm × w 45 cm
