Trim c. 19th century

"Trim" is a delicate, cream-colored lace trim, likely dating back to the 19th century. The intricate design features a repeating motif of stylized floral elements, possibly crafted through the time-intensive technique of bobbin lace. While the artist remains anonymous, this trim, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs prevalent in decorative arts during that period. The trim's small size underscores its intended use as a decorative element on garments or household items.
