Abruzzi - l'Aquila border 

~150" x 10.5"
Borders a bit broken, more on top than the bottom. Ends cut. Large hole about 4" from lower left end. Another about midway through near the top of the lower section - another below this near the lower border. Occasional small hole throughout.

See illustrations In Elisa Ricci "Old Italian Lace, figure 260. This could also be A Russian piece, due to the larger size and less precise design. For the moment I'll leave t in Aquila. Note the upper narrower border looks to have been 'sewn' on with bobbins - check this.
