A wide, triangular off-white linen needle lace stole is composed of fine openwork mesh detailed with intricate flowers and scrolling vines. Small, circular floral shapes create a repeating border along the scalloped edges. Denser threadwork forms larger floral clusters and sweeping curved motifs, providing a varied texture across the delicate textile.
