This lovely and unusual ladies cap is still has its original stiffness from the late 1800s. It is the first time I have seen an example of pressed tulle net. Please look at the parallel rows on the plain part of the hat. This is a rare and seldom seen technique. The embroidery on the crown is hand done and the lace trimming the front is not. The original string to tie under the chin is still attached.

There are some scattered small holes that should not be touched considering that this piece is over 100 years old. Please note that the photos show it much whiter than it is in reality. It is a typical aged beige. The length of the cap including the front lace is 8 ½ inches (22cm). The front measures 9 ½ inches (24cm). This is a wonderful collector’s find. Airmail postage $8.00
Please see many other bridal head pieces in have to offer you. Look at the category Vintage Clothing on this site. Thank you.
