This collection features ten white infant christening garments including nine gowns and one sleeveless shift dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. Crafted from fine cotton lawn and linen, the pieces exhibit intricate period details like pin-tucking, Valenciennes lace inserts, and delicate whitework embroidery. The gowns utilize traditional closures such as mother-of-pearl buttons and fabric drawstrings. The longest garment measures 37 inches. These antique garments display expected wear consistent with age, including light yellowing and minor foxing. The collection remains in good condition with occasional loose threads or small pinholes typical of fine vintage linens.
