A bobbin lace textile is horizontally oriented with a straight top edge and a scalloped bottom border. This off-white fabric contains a dense, repeating pattern of flowers and leaf-like scrolling shapes. Variations in thread thickness create visual depth within the design. The lower border consists of large, rounded scallops that follow the curving floral patterns. The fabric drapes in shallow, irregular folds.
