I recently bought some napkins that have a type of needlace in one

someone be able to identify the style for me and tell me the correct
name. Here is a link to the two photos of the needlelace.

Any help identifying this would be really appreciated.

Can you tell if this is a separate piece sewn onto the corners of the
linen? If so, I think this could be bobbin lace, primarily from the
leaves/petals of the flowers. This looks like the Torchon bobbin lace
method for doing leaves. Pic is he

I am not familiar with the ground pattern on the rest of the corner.

Hope this helps
