c. 1923/1924 RARE Deco Flapper Beaded Cloche
or Flapper Headpiece (for you Google Searchers!)!
My website groupies know that I scour the world for
you (my customers)... and my personal favorites are fancy flapper
headpieces!!! I'm often asked what I would collect
myself... well this is it! I've got a weakness for these.
Really... my knees go weak when I see the great ones like this! Full black net cap fully ornamented with gold floss braid, silver
and clear beading, and a few great pastel colored beads all in a
fabulous deco design. Complete with long dangle beaded fringe
at both sides!! Awesome!! Certainly has that Egyptian feel
that was all the rage after King Tut's tomb was discovered in
November, 1922 - AND this is still a large size which means it was
used by a girl who hadn't yet cut off her hair to the fashionable,
but still controversial short bob... so she had lots of "Edwardian
hair" to pin up to fit under this. Check out the photos...
I've pulled out the back so you can see just how large this is!
Yet, it will fall nicely even without the excess hair.
Excellent condition. Hard to find any issues other than the
slight oxidation of the inside of the clear beading... which is
normal for this age and frankly looks fab! For your flapper
headpiece collection... or to start your collection... one of the
best!
