A square white linen cloth is framed by a wide border of primarily cream colored bobbin and point lace. Highly patterned floral designs of blossoms, leaves, and scrolling vines surround a plain, finely woven center. Large floral motifs anchor each corner, while distinct blossoms sit at the midpoint of each side. Detailed openwork and solid thread create varying textures. The outermost edge consists of small, repeating scalloped loops.
