Antique Traditional Folk Costume Babies Chintz Bonnet: C19th Marken, Netherlands Blue/pink
Item Details.
This is extraordinary! From a collection of chintz babies bonnets from Marken, The Netherlands circa 1800's. Tgey were traditional worn at the back of the head over a white lace cap.
This one is in a delightful pale sky blue with large pink flowers chintz, with a dainty traditional embroidered blue and white trim all around the edge. We believe the linings are of a later textile.
We have more of these babies bonnets, each different and special in their own way. All are listed in our shop, they would make a lovely collection if purchased together.
