Antique Baby's Bonnet in Net

DescriptionThis is a lovely little baby’s bonnet dating from the early 19th Century, entirely handmade in cotton net, needle run in silk. The design features diamonds and triangles and rather geometric designs. It dates from the early 19th Century and has the traditional five channels holding cords to adjust the size and a drawstring at the back of the neck. It also has cotton ties to fasten under the chin, which are I think are a later addition. The bonnet is gathered on to the crown which is oval and also has embroidered diamonds and a scalloped frill round it. It measures just over 12 inches round the brim and the neck edge measures 10 inches. It is a dainty bonnet and in fairly good condition, considering its dainty construction, although there are several small holes in the net near the brim,and towards the crown. It is an interesting and unusual example of its type.
