Cream crotchet cotton lace, Irish type (1870) Three-dimensional motifs, including roses, lilies of the valley, hanging fuchsias, morning glories, buds, and berries, interspersed among flat and folded leaves and ferns, animate the surface of this extraordinary lace dress. The naturalistic rendering and intricacy of the work set this apart from the ubiquitous formulaic designs typical of Irish crotchet lace.
