Dagobert Peche (attributed to)

Dagobert Peche's designs typically use a larger gauge netting and heavier embroidery thread. As in his other decorative works, this group of three rectangular lace pieces incorporates his proclivity for flamoyant, spiky shapes. In this case they are vigorous, arching foliate forms arranged in a triagular composition.
