Trapunto Quilted Woman's Cap
1770

I have had several children's caps but never a woman's. The cap has been purpose made with a symmetrical design, rather than a petticoat cut and re used. Beautiful quality.


Cataloguing

Three sections, the centre with a trailing flower stem with three different large blooms , the sides with a single large flowerhead, each section with three different drawn work centres, trapunto cord quilting, the ground with single stitch decoration. The back with slight gathering into a tape edge.
