A short note from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club describing a Belgian bobbin-lace handkerchief made in 1832 for the marriage of Queen Marie Louise, daughter of Louis Philippe, to Leopold I. It describes the royal monogram and crown, the raised border work with small fringes on the garlands, and the lace center with a star surrounded by crowns. It also reports that club members subscribed to buy the piece for presentation to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A photograph of the handkerchief is included.
