Antique Edwardian/1920s Baby Clothes Lot with Original Provenance Photo - 9pc Collection
An extraordinary, deeply moving piece of history. This curated estate lot features a 9-piece collection of authentic antique baby garments (circa 1900s–1920s Edwardian to early Art Deco era), beautifully preserved alongside the original vintage black-and-white photograph depicting the infant who wore them splashing in an outdoor wooden wash bucket.
Crafted from ultra-fine, semi-sheer white cotton lawn/batiste, these garments showcase the pinnacle of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The collection includes a variety of delicate sleeveless undershirts, button-front vests, and tiny collared blouses. Each piece features exquisite period details, including hand-embroidered floral sprigs on the collars, intricate tatted lace trim along the necklines, and delicate pintuck pleating.
This museum-quality lot offers a rare, fully documented glimpse into early childhood history. It is a breathtaking addition for serious textile collectors, historical archives, or display alongside antique French or German character dolls.
