A 19th century knit lace bonnet or cap, of fine cream-color thread, edged with knit lace in a pale, faded blue. The ties are ribbons of knit lace about 1 inch wide, and about 13 inches long. The bonnet, folded, measures about 8 inches from the edge of the bonnet to the center back. From the center top to the tie edge is about 7 1/2 inches. Another 1 1/4 inch of lace forms the edge. See additional pictures for condition and details of the lace. ConditionThere are a couple of small mends. See the case history on this website for the mending of one of those holes. There also are a couple of very light stains -- see pictures under lace knit details. They are relatively unobtrusive, and the bonnet is very usable, supple and wearable. Lace Knit Details
