A horizontally long cream lace textile features symmetrical floral patterns of bouquets and curving vines on a fine mesh ground. Thick thread defines the delicate petals and leaves, mirroring a central floral motif toward either scalloped edge. On each side, large rounded forms sprout dense floral arrangements, separated by interweaving vine motifs. The intricate cream patterns create a web-like texture across the delicate, translucent rectangular cloth.
