Pleated linen, trimmed with deep flounce, collar, and cuffs of needle-point lace--" Punto tagliato a foliaml"--also known as Rose-point. The pattern is composed of repeated groups of formal scrolls bearing simple leaf and fanciful blossom devices.

These enriched portions of the design are well contrasted with the plain treatment of the scrolling stems. The details of the entire pattern are lield together by small bars or "brides," upon which are little circular devices edged with very small "picots." Italian (Venetian). About 1660.
