Antique Traditional Folk Costume Chintz Baby’s Bonnet: C19th Marken, Netherlands. Blue/Brown

Item Details.
This is extraordinary! From a collection of traditional Folk costume a hand painted chintz babies bonnets from Marken, The Netherlands circa 1800's.

This little bonnet one is made from a delightful floral polished chintz in indigo blues, coral pinks & peat brown. The bonnet has been finished with a traditional blue and white trim all around the outer edges. We believe the lining has been replaced at a later date.

These bonnets were worn at the back of the head over a fine white linen or lace cap.

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.

Measurements.
20cm along bottom edge.

Condition.
As to be expected these bonnets have some signs of age, minor marks and tiny flaws, nothing which is detrimental to the overall loveliness of each piece.
