Honiton Applique Bonnet Veil

31" x 51"
Two small holes lower left corner one on left side. A little beige, some small red stains.

Elegant more modern floral design, unlike traditional, but still with fillings. Excellent technique. Original silk ribbon in place.
Three tags identify fillings, unknown how these were determined:
Tag1 9 motifs down on right
Tag2 8 motifs up on right
Tag3 5 motifs up on right

Ex. coll. of the late Enid Purvis.
One tag says it was the gift of a Miss Crawshay. I'm thinking this and similar pieces were part of a museum collection. Purvis may have gotten it from a museum deaccession.
