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 with budding vegetation 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 was found in a pattern book. The maker of this piece used thread of different thicknesses to give texture and variety to the design.
