Belgian needlelace doily

58" x 23"
Very good condition, one small brown spot on the right side.

This is the heavier type-2 Belgian Venise (might be Zele), with a very good figural pattern of flower urns and cornucopia. Hexagonal picoted brides with a little decoration in the clothwork. Note the use of round 'islands' in the brides and elsewhere. This type of lace was often used for table linens.
