Source Description
This piece of lace is simple and honest in its decorative quality. The focus is on the thick and graphic darning, or area of woven pattern, depicts triangular and geometric motifs. In addition to the knotting of the thread (filet/lacis technique), the lace maker used thicker thread to create the bold and heavy pattern against the unadorned diamond ground netting.
