A horizontally long strip of off-white linen bobbin lace features floral patterns in scrolling vines, small leaves, and blossoms against a fine, net-like ground. At the center, the flounce lies flat, displaying repeating botanical motifs. Near either edge, the material is folded over itself, creating vertically running rectangular bands of cream lace that break up the patterns. The delicate lace ends in slightly uneven edges along its entire length.
