A square piece of off-white linen cloth is framed by a wide border of dense needle lace. Intricate floral patterns surround a plain woven center that forms a cruciform shape. Large roses anchor each corner, linked by curving vines and smaller blossoms. Symmetrical oval frames containing flower sprays mark the midpoint of each side. The lace features a textured mesh background and finished, scalloped outer edges.
