This pattern with bunches of grapes and vine leaves was probably used to make the Point d'Alençon lace flounce exhibited in one of the showcases of the Dentelle (Lace) section of the Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle (Museum of Fine Arts and Lace) in Alençon. This flounce, attributed to the Lefébure house, stands alongside another remarkable piece: the so-called princely wedding flounce, which depicts a medieval wedding. Intended for clothing and furnishing, they both testify to the know-how of the houses that manufactured them at the end of the 19th century in the Orne department. Though the Lefébure house had headquarters in Bayeux in the Calvados department, it owned production sites in Alençon and Argentan.
