This is a mid 19th century embroidered fine linen handkerchief with a hand made Valenciennes lace border. BF monogram to one corner. Very fine whitework is in part appliqued. Needlelace fillings to the embroidery.

Soft old white colour. There are several small pinholes and tiny tears, probably due the combination of very fine linen and heavy embroidery, nothing too obvious.
