Antique Victorian Era Child's Black Crepe Mourning Bonnet 1870s 1880s

Description: This sweet child's bonnet is truly rare. In the Victorian Era, Queen Victoria made the act of mourning quite the art form, and if you practiced mourning, you made sure your whole household also practiced mourning. This child's bonnet is made of a base of buckram and covered with silk crepe, black silk ribbons for the ties and the lining is of a stiff gauze. Black glass headed pins are used to keep some of the crepe in place. There are wear spots on the crepe and the ribbon needs to be reattached to the back of the bonnet. This bonnet would be a marvelous addition to any child's or mourning collection. Please see all photos for condition and flaws.

Table runner not included This item is sold as is, as it is a vintage or antique piece. I make every effort to photograph and disclose all the flaws I notice so that you can see what you will be getting before you buy. I do not offer refunds unless I grossly mis-represent what I am selling, so please ask a lot of questions before you buy! My house is also home to our Rosie Dog. I make every effort to make certain there are no Rosie hairs on the products I sell. This item comes to you from a pet friendly, non-smoking home. However, I have purchased it from another person, and they may have smoked or had animals. I make every effort to sell clean, offensive-fragrance free items! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello there! I thought I would share a little bit about who you are buying this item from. My name is Gina and for the past 40 years, I have been an avid collector of antiques. At one point in time, my dream was to have a fabulous fashion museum that housed clothing, underwear, shoes, accessories and various items from the 1830s to the 1930s. Well, over time, that dream became a very unhealthy obsession so I am selling the vast majority of my museum off. My obedience to God is your gain! For most of last year I sold quite a bit of the museum on my Instagram page @thehouseofwhyte and that was fun, but a little too regimented for me and caused quite a bit of stress and anxiety. I am hoping that eBay is a better place to offer my items to new homes! I also sell newly crafted items on Etsy at theHOWboutique, if you would like to check out my integrity as a seller there!
