A truly stunning hand crocheted baby bonnet which hails all the way from Ireland. The thread used was an extremely fine linen and crocheted by expert hands. Each motif was created seperately by Irish peasants then later assembled into a mesh background. It measures 15" around the face and 11.25" around the neck. It was an absolute delight to restore this back to it's original, bright white condition. All embellishments are new and added by me. In absolutely flawless condition.
Hand laundered, air dried c. 1880-1910 excellent condition
