Japonstrook van zwarte kloskant met brekende golven c. 1893

This intricate black bobbin lace edging, created by Leon Sacré around 1893, showcases a delicate floral motif with repeating curved patterns. The design, known as "Japonstrook", is inspired by Japanese aesthetics and exemplifies the artistic trends of the late 19th century. The lace, measuring an impressive 1015 centimeters in length, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of bobbin lacemaking, a traditional technique that requires great skill and patience.
