Opus Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
It is now difficult to find the two parts still together.
The fabric was starched, then damped and placed on the board and rolled until the small pleats were formed. The pleated fabric was then stitched at the top, to form collars and cuffs.
This example is a nice neat size, the base measures 8cm x 7.5cm.
