Exquisite 1910s Antique FRENCH Jeweled Bandeau w Swooping Egret Plumes Flapper
An exquisite and dramatic genuine antique French evening bandeau. Genuine antique, all original, dates to the post Edwardian’Teens WWI era, circa 1912 to 1920. From Paris, of course. The bandeau or headband is a sparkling glittering jeweled piece, studded with prong set crystals in emerald green and amber topaz gold. The band is made of a special articulated gold metal so it actually curves and flexes to fit your head perfectly. Beautiful Art Nouveau design. Arising from the center is a dramatic spray of exotic and scarce real egret plumes in natural cream color, that swoop upwards to almost 18 high! The plumes are bound in French gold bullion metallic braid and hand sewn to the bandeau. The sides and “ties” are a rich and sturdy French gold bullion tinsel braid, and it ties in the back and is fully adjustable to any size head. Quite rare, and in excellent condition. Perfect for your Downton Abbey events and Great Gatsby Flapper evening attire. The woman who wore this on the Paris stage had a big full head curly red hair, like Clara Bow. A very Moulin Rouge, Burlesque, or Paris Follies, daring and the real thing. More details below, and Please see all the over 16 photos below. I show it placed on a full sized, adult millinery head. Head is not included. The jeweled bandeau itself measures 5 long. The plumes swoop up 18 from the top of the bandeau. The ties are 16″ long and 13″ long, so this fits any size head from small to large. Thank you for understanding. PLEASE SEE OUR AUCTIONS FOR MORE ANTIQUE and VINTAGE HATS, Clothing, AND MORE….
