The repeating pattern consists of eighteen rows of branches placed directly under each other and a row of hanging feathered leaves; each with one flower along the lower edge. The feathered leaves hang down like a y; the flower is halfway the stick of the j and cuts the leaf. The curves of the j-shaped leaves form the shell edge along the underside of the strip; which is finished with picots. The top of the strip is finished straight. The short sides are cut more or less obliquely.; anonymous; Calais; c. 1885 - c. 1895; cotton (textile); l 110 cm x w 38 cm x; 1.6 cm
