A horizontally long off-white linen lace edging features a repeating pattern of swirling scrolls and stylized flowers. The floral shapes are filled with dense threads and broken by sections of open, web-like geometric mesh. A straight top edge runs the length of the band, while the bottom border is scalloped. Fine threads create a complex, perforated network. On the right, the horizontal strip terminates in a jagged, unevenly cut edge.
