Lot 411:
A Selection of Various Linen Christening Gowns
Description
A selection of various antique or vintage white textiles, identified as christening gowns and likely other baby/children’s clothing or undergarments. Crafted from finely woven white linen, possibly with some cotton elements, and featuring intricate whitework detailing including various forms of delicate lace inserts, eyelet embroidery (broderie anglaise), pintucks, and ruffles. The styles are consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century aesthetics. No discernible manufacturer’s marks or textual labels are visible on the garments themselves, though a small portion of a modern tag is visible on one of the hangers.
