Baptismal veil of tulle embroidery, Baptismal veil of natural-colored tulle with tulle embroidery: along the edges with tambouring on machine-made tulle and above the lining in the corners and in the middle applications. Rectangular model with a lining of very light blue silk. In every corner there is a branch with six flowers, possibly marigolds. Similar flowers are arranged in a circle in the center. The appliqués are made by embroidering flowers on a piece of batist with festoon stitches and cordon stitches. Perhaps a whole piece of batist is always attached to the tulle and only then are parts of the batist cut away, following the shape of the embroidered motifs. The edge of the veil is finished with a strip of coarser tulle with a pattern of smaller and other flowers made with tableware. The strip is secured with few fine pleats, strongly pleated in the corners., anonymous, Netherlands, c. 1840 - c. 1849, silk, embroidering, l 150 cm × w 140 cm
