Photo de stock - Part of a hat or collar of black bobbin lace, Part of a hat or collar of black bobbin lace: Old Flemish lace. The hat or collar can be called faintly heart-shaped, with a dull bottom with cut-out (for the neck?). A strip of lace runs along the recess, with a strip on one side along which a pleated piece of lace is sewn. This side consists of sections sewn together, which vary in clock technique and pattern. The lace is sewn on a linen support fabric that is darkly colored, with the exception of the light-colored center piece against which the pattern stands out more clearly. The patterns are not clearly visible due to, among other things, the folds. You can distinguish tendrils with different flower shapes, including palm flowers, flowers in the shape of a bunch of grapes and simple flowers with a round floral heart and three round petals. The motifs are connected by lattice soils, including Dieppe soils (soil with twisted boreholes). The motifs are made in linen with openwork edges. Parts of a picotrand can still be seen along the damaged outer edges., anonymous, Vlaanderen, c. 1600 - c. 1699, linen (material), old Flemish lace, l 41 cm × l 22.5 cm × w 8.5 cm
