Looking for a truly special heirloom? This rare, 19th-century white lace handkerchief is a stunning piece of history. Measuring a dainty 7" x 5", it features a beautifully detailed, hand-embroidered monogram ("SFW") on exceptionally fine, delicate fabric.

In the Victorian era, these were known as "Magic Handkerchiefs". They were lovingly folded and stitched into a bonnet for a baby’s christening, then later transformed back into a hanky to be carried by the same child on their wedding day as their "something old."
