CHILD'S OR DOLL'S ANTIQUE VELVET BONNET BURGUNDY AND GRAY VELVET W GOLD TRIM

Description

I am listing several exquisite antique bonnets from an estate.  I suspect the grouping I am listing right now were all made for the same child.  Some have the maker's name inside and were made in Paris.  It is entirely possible this one was made in Paris France too, but it is not marked inside.  This one is in need of a little TLC. It is of burgundy velvet with gray velvet bands at the edge.  The bonnet is also trimmed with gold metallic thread fringe trim.  The silk interior is shattered, but the exterior of this bonnet remains in pretty good condition, although the top gray band needs to be tucked back under the gold trim and sewn in place.  I am not very good with a needle and thread so will leave that up to you!  The velvet ties are intact and I think original to the bonnet.  The bottom edges or corners of the bonnet measure approximately 5 1/2" apart with the bonnet in a relaxed position.  They will open to at least 7".  I suppose they could be bent slightly or molded closed a bit too as I think they are bendable wire underneath.  The depth of the bonnet from back to front is approximately 41/2".  The height from the back top to bottom center edge is approximately 4".
