1850's Winter White Traveling Hood







From the seller:





THIS BONNET DATES TO THE VICTORIAN 19TH C AND IS FASHIONED OF A HAND KNIT WOOL, ITS TOP TEXTURED IN A RAISED POINT, SILK SATIN RIBBON BOWS TRIM WITH MATCHING TIES




THE FRONT TAILS FALL LONG AND SQUARE AT ENDS, SMALL FRAY AT THE EDGE OF THE TAILS AND ON THE SIDE HEAD AS PICTURED




OTHERWISE EXCELLENT IN CONDITION




ADULT SIZED HEAD WITH TAILS FALLING A VERY LONG 20 INCHES FROM THE TIES AT THE NECKLINE


From Me:

Although this picture is from a few years later (1862) than I believe this extant hood is, you can easily see the resemblance.
