PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:
Books of patterns for lace making and other needlework were aimed at well-to-do women and girls as a way of encouraging domestic virtue.

digital description:
A scrolling vine or a tendril motif is a recurring pattern in needle lace. The frequent use of the motif, adapted in lace from different centuries and regions, suggests that it may have been inspired by a design in a printed pattern book.
