Cravat end, Brussels bobbin lace, 1720s. Cravat end, the design is symetrical to either side of a central axis, with a very dense pattern in several planes containing scrolling and unfurling leaves, stylised fruit, lace-like trails and a central heart-like shape. The work is very fine, with a variety of fillings. There is a very narrow footing. The lace has been pinned at some stage down either side and there are small rusty marks with slight damage, where the holes were.  Bobbin lace worked in linen thread.
