‘Feuille de refend’, an embroidered parterre motif in the form of a double bec de corbin which is split down the middle for variety in the manner of acanthus and parsley leaves. [1]
Notes
1. The ornament thus takes its name from ‘refendre’, meaning to split, and ‘feuille’ or leaf. Acanthus spinosus is traditionally regarded as the paradigm for the leaf ornament in Corinthian capitals. See D. J. Mabberley, The Plant-book: a Portable Dictionary of the Vascular Plants (Cambridge, 1997), 5.
