Description

Entirely hand-stitched bib made of fine linen embroidered with linen. Fiddle shape with PW white silk ribbon ties at the top; a pair of tiny tucks down the center front borders a line of drawn thread work. The edges have an embroidered leaf-and-flower vine border executed in satin, stem and chain stitch, along with tiny eyelets and drawn thread work. Edged with what appears to be handmade Bucks point lace, speculated to be associated with a christening ensemble.
