Cap Streamers (Belgium), 1700–1750
This is a Cap streamers. It is dated 1700–1750 and we acquired it in 1950. Its medium is linen and its technique is bobbin lace, binche ground. It is a part of the Textiles department.
The yarn of these streamers is very fine, the structure remarkably even, and what can be called a background is filled with a small scale pattern. While the design of each piece is vertically symmetrical it is not literally so.
