Flounce Fragment (Belgium)
This is a Flounce fragment. It is dated 1755–70 and we acquired it in 1950. Its medium is linen and its technique is bobbin lace, brussels style. It is a part of the Textiles department.
The standard Brussels net is used for the curving ribbon and the pairs of brackets. The large scale net supporting the central flowers was made with 4 bobbins and resembles needle-made nets of the second half of the century.
