Christening blanket made of two joined widths of white, ribbed, watered silk with a symmetrical floral design formed by floats bound in satin. The widths are not well joined with regard to the pattern and have been pieced at one end, suggesting they had a previous use. The panel which they form is lined with white silk taffeta and edged with a white silk fringe, applied to hang downwards at top and bottom and inwards at the sides of the blanket.
The silk is in heavy rib with a proportion of the warp used to form the pattern bound in a coarse satin. The watering has taken well on the rib and casts a watered 'shadow' on one side of the woven design. Height of repeat, 231/4". Loom width 19" between selvedges, which are approx. 1/4".
The fringe is made from decorative loops of white silk gimp and hangs a 21/4" looped fringe of untwisted silk, knotted at intervals. Some four inches apart are hangers consisting of four bundles of looped, twisted and piled white silk.
