Antique Belgian Bobbin Lace Doily with Beautiful Sunflower Design

A beautiful antique bobbin lace rectangular runner with a floral motif, purchased in Bruges, Belgium.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece and includes a blue linen cloth for framing.

It resembles Point de Venise and may be an Italian piece.

The center features a single flower with a lattice weave.
The outer part has 12 petals with varying densities.
A slender stem with two leaves and a flower with its head tilted.
It resembles a sunflower and is delicate and charming.

An outer frame with four loops on each side.
Bridges of needlework are added in the spaces between the flowers and the frame,
decorated with picot lace.

A very pale antique gray, with a hint of pink,
a very light greige, or
a nuanced ecru,
slightly darker than ivory.
The quilt shown underneath in the photos is pure white.
I hope this helps convey the delicate color.

A piece made from natural linen yarn, with a smooth,
silky, and dry texture, giving it a natural feel.

Please excuse any errors in the amateur measurements below for this handmade item.

Long side 33cm x Short side 22cm
Size of one motif: 14.5cm
Approximately 13g

There appear to be no damages such as stains or tears, and it is in very beautiful condition.

Like a framed painting, a still life, or art.
Also suitable for framing.

On a table, chest, or cabinet.
It would also be lovely for displaying jewelry, small dolls, or objets d'art.

I would be happy if someone who likes it could make use of it. ✴
