This cloth was given to the museum by Louise Tifft Brown, a native Clevelander who became an expert in lace while living in Venice for 35 years.Description
A scrolling vine with budding vegetation or a tendril motif is a recurring pattern in needle lace. The frequent use of the motif, adapted in lace from different centuries and regions, suggests that it was found in a pattern book.- Underhill, Gertrude. "Louise Tifft Brown Bequest of Lace." The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art 20, no. 10 (1933): 157-59. 157-159 www.jstor.org
