I buy vintage linens at local estate auctions to pass them along to you, and here's the deal: I have WAY TOO MUCH inventory. So I'm initiating some new policies in 2021 and lowering my prices to try to make a dent in my stash. The quality has not changed; these are still good quality linens - I just need to pass them along. Please make an offer if you're interested, and let me know if you're looking for something special.This is a small antique lace day cap for girls or a small woman. It is made of a fabric woven with all-over lace patterns - the fiber is hard to identify, possibly fine cotton. It is ivory in color and is constructed much like a baby bonnet with a slight brim and an inset in the back; all around the neck edge there is tulle ruffle with a lace edge. The lacey patterns are quite pretty - please see the closeup photos.
measurements: 16" around face edge; 1.5" width of tulle neck band; 5.5" width at top; about 5" length of back inset
I have handwashed and pressed this. The fabric is very soft and lightweight and without stains, but there is considerable damage. The original chin ties are missing, as is a bit of the tulle neck cover. There are several torn connectors in the tulle. I have tried to show the damage in the last several photos.
This is a rare survivor, and it retains its beauty. I'm hoping someone will be able to use this for study or display.
