Strip of bobbin lace with pineapple-shaped reserve, Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace: Mechelen side. The repetitive and symmetrical pattern consists of two types of reserves with different fillings. One of the two reserves is reminiscent of a halved pineapple and is flanked left and right by branches facing each other. The motifs are connected by a fine mesh soil. Ornamental soils are used in the reserves with coarser meshes and with small motifs, including rosette flowers in the pineapple. The motifs are made in linen with very few cut-outs and with thicker and shiny contour threads.
