About this object

This is an off white handmade insertion of filet lace for a linen piece that has been removed. There is one piece that makes up the side, and at 17 inches, 30 inches and 17 inches there are insertions attached and running perpendicular to this side piece. Each of the perpendicular pieces measure 84 1/2 inches. The pattern design is the same for all and is a rose and leaf design. However, each end piece and the side piece have a scallop on one side, whereas the two center perpendicular insertions are straight on both edges. Because of this the insertions may have been on a twin bed cover.
