Welcome to our SPECIAL COLLECTORS EVENT showcasing antique French Baby bibs (bavoirs bébé), all of which are newborn - 6 months in size.
The baby bibs in this collection come from the attic of a grand household in southern France, and date back to the late 1800s - early 1900s.
Bibs of this age were made mostly from cotton, linen or marcella and trimmed with lace, embroidery and pleated net.
Bibs that are decorative, like these, formed part of a baby’s carefully curated appearance, especially for outings, photographs, or visits rather than messy meals.
In antique textile circles today, bibs like these are prized for their exquisite needlework and because they beautifully represent the elegance of nursery fashions in Belle Époque France. Be the proud owner of one of these beautiful and prized pieces of the sweetest textile history.
