| Title |
English: Parchment With Unfinished Needle Lace (England), 17th century |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Long strip of parchment with design drawn onto it in ink. The outline of the design has been sewn onto the parchment with linen thread and about half of the needlelace has been filled in.The design is of curving floral sprays. There is no repeat in the width but it appears as if the designer intended this to be one unit of the repeat as sketchy drawing at the far end repeats the shapes at the beginning.
The parchment arrived in a small cloth handmade bag (recently made) of 17/18 century silk damask and metallic bobbin lace. |
