Ornate Lace Edgings

Historical lace trims with intricate patterns and floral designs, showcasing delicate craftsmanship from different centuries.

Strip bobbin with V-shaped motifs above fan edge, anonymous, c. 1850 - c. 1899 Strip of natural -colored bobbin. The repeating and geometric pattern consists of a symmetrical V-shaped motif, which reaches from the bottom to the top of the strip. The broad line that forms the motif is divided into rectangles that are made in alternately in linen and mains stroke and are surrounded by thicker contour threads. The triangular space in the V-shaped motif is closed. The motifs are connected by a mesh soil, a lace-hole strike-grid. Between the successive V-shaped motifs, a diamond-shaped motif has been realized in the Maas soil without contour threads, with a network of larger meshes and nine small motifs in linen battle. The top of the strip is straight finished. The silly scrap edge along the underside stems from a succession of fan patterns, which are finished with picots.

Iran This bronze tool, possibly an awl, was excavated in 1937 at a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur in northeastern Iran. While Nishapur itself was founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I (reigned ca. A.D. 241-272), this tool shows that human habitation there goes back to the prehistoric period. Furthermore, the prehistoric pottery from Nishapur has close affinities with ceramic materials from Central Asia rather than with contemporary sites in Iran, meaning that in this period its inhabitants were likely culturally linked to their neighbors to the east. At the same time, Nishapurs location on what later became known as the Great Khorasan Road suggests that it was part of the trade network that facilitated the import of precious stones such as lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise from Central Asia to Mesopotamia..
