Band
This is a Band. It is dated late 16th–early 17th century and we acquired it in 1950. Its medium is linen and its technique is needle lace, punto in aria style or early 17th century style. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Needle lace was a significant artistic and technical achievement that evolved in western Europe during the late sixteenth century. Looping with needle and thread was used to create a light, flexible textile of varying density, such as this lace band in a carnation pattern.
