Zakdoek van kantborduurwerk op batist met het alliantiewapen Nederland-Wurtemberg en de gekroonde S c. 1840

This delicate, hand-stitched handkerchief, dated to around 1840, is a fine example of needlework from the 19th century. It is made of batiste, a lightweight, fine-textured fabric, and adorned with intricate lacework. The handkerchief features the alliance coat of arms of the Netherlands and Württemberg, indicating a possible connection to a royal wedding or a symbolic alliance between the two countries. The delicate floral motifs and the use of white thread highlight the skill and artistry of the anonymous maker, reflecting the popular trend of intricate embroidery in the Victorian era.
