Textured Mats in Atwater Bronson Lace
Look at what only three shafts and two colors can do! The little windows that are the trademark of Atwater-Bronson lace are threaded in a color next to natural for emphasis and depth.
Plain weave borders with stripes add smooth, stable edges as a contrast to the lace texture.
