Stunning Antique very early 1800s Fine Hand Woven Linen Bonnet with panels of Duchess Lace and open worked inset panels. Trimmed at the brim with Honiton lace. There is a very fine linen tie at the inner neckline to draw the bonnet in. Originating from a North Yorkshire Estate and being made by French settlers. Approx 9 from middle of the forehead to tip of lappet where the ties are. 8.5 from rear back of the neck cord to chin. The linen ties are 18 long and edged in Honiton lace. Please remember that ladies on the whole were much smaller during the 19th century, but despite this the cap does sit firmly on the modern display head.
