Materials: Cotton tulle, bobbin lace, purple silk ribbon, wire frame,
cream silk ribbon ties.
Condition: Pristine, except the
silk chin ties.
Measurements: Ht, 8.5"; Wd,
7.5".
Comments: The net and bobbin lace
are a delicate ecru color. The purple ribbon work is marvelous! It trims the
bonnet in several variations: it is rolled, plaited and zigzagged. The narrow
ribbon has a picot edge and a border of blue. Bonnet is unlined and meant to
show a ladies coiffure through the net and lace. I have never seen a 19th c. lace
day bonnet in as perfect condition as this one is.
