Vari disegni di merletti [Operetta d'intagliati lauor]

Danieli, Bartolomeo · 1639 · 13 pictures

A 1639 Italian pattern book of lace designs by Bartolomeo Danieli, offered as models for needleworkers and lace makers. The four plates show scalloped lace edgings built from arched lobes filled with dense scrolls, rosettes and foliage over a ribbon-like lower band, which a designer could adapt for ornamental borders, arch shapes and dense filigree pattern.
