An adorable baby bonnet from the later Victorian era or early 1900's.  The size of the bonnet also makes it suitable for a larger bisque or compo doll.

Outside of bonnet is made of lace yardage, while the inside is lined in a fine cotton. Pleated lace trim outlines the face area. A gathering of lace and ribbon combined, forming a rosette at the top knot.

The back of the bonnet is trimmed with a silk braid adding another lovely embellishment. This same style braid also separates  the pleated edge trim from the main part of the bonnet.

Bonnet, at one time, had silk ribbon ties which now are missing or in disrepair. I will also mention, the stitches attaching the rosette to the bonnet, on the one end could use a bit of reinforcement. Nothing at all major, just a simple stitch or two to secure the rosette better.

Color is a darker cream to ecru. Somewhat of a soiling or oxidating on the inside along the face area.

Size: 11" around the face area from side to side. 6-1/2" along the back of the neck. To give you a better prospective size, I would say it would fit a doll's head about the size of a grapefruit ... maybe about 5" in diameter.
