EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite point lace babies' christening cap, dating back to 1864, showcases the intricate detail and craftsmanship of Victorian-era garments. The cap, made of the finest French lacet, was worked flat and later joined together with hem-stitch to create the distinctive shape that cradles the infant's head. The design is divided into seven parts, each intricately patterned, forming a beautiful and elegant crown. The center of the cap features a circular opening for the crown, a traditional element of christening caps from this era. The delicate point lace adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the garment, making it a cherished keepsake for generations. The 1860s were marked by an affinity for intricate lacework and fine fabrics, and this cap is a testament to the exquisite taste and attention to detail that characterized the fashion of the time. This precious artifact offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
