Border of crochet and silk, Ireland, ca. 1890Border of crochet and slik. A long border with 'Vandkyke' scallops worked with cream silk in a variety of crochet stitches. Each scallop and the portion of the border above it is decorated with four large flower-like rosettes. Two of the rosettes have padded rings in the manner of Venetian Gros point, one is worked with clusters of raised loop stitches, and the fourth has raised petals of tatting-crochet. The tiny scallops around the edges of the 'Vandykes' are reminiscent of the 'points' of early needle laces.
