An amazing piece. Have you ever seen such care taken for a baby's shirt having goffered sleeves and impressed design to the cuffs. I am assuming the decorative cuffs were achieved with a heated decorated clamp where the cloth was inserted and a pattern produced. Do tell me more if you know about this. Thank you.
It is not suprising all the linen items from this collection have damp markings. This shirt is of slightly heavier and less fine linen than the other two.
From the attic of a house built in 1550. Provance available.
This infant clothing collection will be sold together.
Of T shaped construction in creamy fine linen, a round neck, edged with hand made narrow Valencienne bobbin lace, under sleeve gores, the goffered sleeves with a heated imprint design to the last 2 in; 5 cm, two buttonholes and lace trim.
Length 12 in; 32 cm
Width 9 in; 23 cm
Overall light brown markings. No damage.
