I’m trying to figure out the name, history and construction of a couple types of French lace hats or bonnets. One where the lace and metal wire frame became pretty extreme to, I suspect, show off the laces of the Troyes, France area shown in a painting by Henri Valton “Colporteur vendant des châles à des femmes de la région troyenne”. If I just had the name, I’d have a real start. The bonnet is still in use today with folk dance groups in Troyes FR. I have the same issue with a different bonnet out of the Gers department of France that looks rather like a lace version of the crested Roman helmet. Very odd and interesting.
