Handkerchief, made in England, second half 19th century

Linen with whitework embroidery and bobbin lace

In the 19th century people used plain linen or cotton handkerchiefs for the same varied purposes they do today. However, if the handkerchiefs were decorated, they could also be carried purely as fashionable accessories and given as gifts. In such cases they often incorporated the initials of their owner in an elaborate monogram, particularly if they were part of a trousseau. Some of the most ornamental were of whitework embroidery, made with such skill that they were reversible, being equally fine on each side, and trimmed with hand-made lace.

Bag, made 1700-1800, China

Embroidered silk

Bag made from embroidered Chinese silk and edged with metallic European lace; it has pale green ribbon ties attached at either side. The bag was made up in Europe, perhaps originally as a bourse which is a small flat bag used as part of the Christian Mass. However, the green ribbons seem to be for secular use and so this bag might have had several lives.
