A horizontally long linen appliqué scarf features intricate cream-colored floral patterns upon a fine, translucent machine net. Large blossoms and swirling vines form dense clusters at either end, transitioning into a central field sparsely dotted with individual sprigs and minute points. A continuous scalloped lace border frames the entire rectangle. Soft folds and wrinkles in the dark, airy mesh accentuate the delicate, web-like texture of the white embroidery.
