Strip of bobbin lace with V-shaped motifs above fan edge, Natural strip of bobbin lace. The repetitive and geometric pattern consists of a symmetrical V-shaped motif that extends from the bottom to the top of the strip. The broad line that forms the motif is divided into rectangles that are made alternately in linen and mesh strokes and are surrounded by thicker contour threads. The triangular space in the V-shaped motif is closed. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground, a borehole grate. In between the successive V-shaped motifs, a diamond-shaped motif has been created in the mesh ground

The repetitive and geometric pattern consists of a symmetrical V-shaped motif that extends from the bottom to the top of the strip. The broad line that forms the motif is divided into rectangles that are made alternately in linen and mesh strokes and are surrounded by thicker contour threads. The triangular space in the V-shaped motif is closed. The motifs are connected by a mesh ground, a borehole grate. In between the successive V-shaped motifs, a diamond-shaped motif has been created in the mesh ground without any contour threads, with a network of larger meshes and nine small motifs in linen. The top of the strip is finished straight. The faint scallop edge along the underside comes from a succession of fan motifs, which are finished with picots., anonymous, Germany (possibly), c. 1850 - c. 1899, linen (material), bobbin lace, l 80 cm × w cm ×, cm
