About this object

This ecru edging of Reseau Venise needle lace is in a flower and leaf pattern. The pattern repeats at 21 3/4 inches. There are many fillings and some open areas with Angleterre-type bars. At the upper edge it is cut down and has an added egrelure (footing). The lower edge appears scalloped due to the leaf and flower design.
