. In the 17th century, it became fashionable for young fathers to wear a special, richly decorated, cap when a child was born. This would be worn during the first ten days after the birth, the period during which friends and relatives would come to visit. These special caps continued to be worn well into the 18th century.Bliżej Kultury unknownLace 19th century probably French. Lace 90831Paletot 1863-65 American. Paletot.

The steels, padded saddle cover, and saddletree are original and all appear to belong together.The saddletree is made up of both wooden and iron components. Its basic structure consists of a pommel and cantle of shaped wood, each of which is joined to a wooden base in the form of a semicircular arch, the arch being hidden under the saddle cover. The upper side of each arch is faced with leather, and the underside with canvas. The front and rear arches are connected by two horizontal sidebards, each made of a flat band of iron, the ends of which spread into a trefoil shape where they are nailed to the underside of the arches. The sidebards are slightly bowed inward to correspond to the curvature of a horse's back. Similar iron sidebars occur on the saddle from the armor garniture probably made for Henry VIII in 1527 (the so-called GenoStocking of white knitted cotton, ajour fantasy pattern on Klink and rubbed, three red stripes along top strap, anonymous, c. 1850 - c. 1900 Pair of stockings of white knitted cotton.
