Strip of spool lace with decorative bands and S-shaped ribs with oval buttons, Strip of natural spool lace, old Flemish lace. The seemingly messy, repetitive pattern consists of a succession of very narrow S-shaped tendrils with small oval buttons on them. Decorative bands, partly forming spirals, run around the branches in turns. The motifs are connected by a braid ground. The very sparingly applied full work is made in net and linen strokes, with the open-worked edges approximately the same width as the full work with which the tendrils are made. There is one kind of decorative ground

The very sparingly applied full work is made in net and linen strokes, with the open-worked edges approximately the same width as the full work with which the tendrils are made. There is one kind of decorative ground applied in the spirals and in the decorative bands there are rows of leaves made in form. The top of the strip is finished straight with a separate band. The bottom is straight finished with picots., anonymous, Vlaanderen, c. 1700 - c. 1715, linen (material), old Flemish lace, l cm × w cm ×, cm
