Historical information
Fashion Item.
Bonnet veils were very fashionable during the 19th century. At this time old lace was highly valued - in this case old Argentan needle lace motifs (mid 18th century) have been reclaimed and appliqued onto machine made cotton net to form this 19th century bonnet veil. Probably home-made.
