Lille bonnet veil

27" x 50"
One hole lower right (or left) corner.

This might be all bobbin-made, hard to tell. I might be seeing some racroc lines. The thread is stiff and slubby, probably linen. The side and top borders are bobbin-made and appear to be attached. The lower border is made in one piece. Might be a directoire design, although the asymmetry speaks against this. A mystery piece - might be Arras.
