Alençon border
3.5" x 146" (8.89cm x 370.84cm) An Alençon border with a 19th c feel. The clothwork is done with a longer stitch (1-1/2 twists) and though obviously based on 18th century design, this seems a bit more modern. Brides tortillée in the main border, with réseau fin fillings in the lower edge.
