Both adult and miniature versions of these cutwork coifs have survived from the second half of the sixteenth century.

In the second half of the 17th century both men and women increasingly used the wearing of extravagant displays of lace as a mark of wealth and status, as well as of fashionable taste. Christening sets such as this show how its use extended even to the adornment of babies.
The technique of cutwork was the creation of a delicate structure of needle lace stitches across the spaces cut in a fine linen ground. It reached the height of its popularity in the late sixteenth and early seventeeth century, when it was used to decorate every type of linen and in particuar to draw attention to the face and throat in the form of collars and ruffs. 
 The swaddling of babies - wrapping them firmly in strips of cloth - was once the prevailing custom in many parts of the world, including this country. The custom dates from ancient times, and is protective in origin. A swaddled baby would be warm, and its lack of movement kept it safe from accidents such as falling out of the cradle or into the fire. Swaddling bands were usually undecorated. The baby could be dressed for a special occasions by laying lace over the bands.
