PROVENANCE

---

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

digital description: 
A scrolling vine with budding vegetation or a tendril is a recurring pattern in needle lace. The frequent use of the motif, adapted in lace from different centuries and regions, suggests that it was found in a pattern book. Here, the pattern is excessively ornate with additional swirling motifs and flourishing vases.
