Subcollections
Overview

The head dress is in Hungarian folk style and was made in Paris. It consists of a light wire frame covered in cream net, with ruched gold coloured tulle on the upper sections. The basic shape is head-hugging, surmounted by a crest of tulle and artificial orange blossom with buds outlining the upper part of the crest. A string of rhinestones is attached to the front part of the head dress and rhinestones and blossom form a decorative small cluster on either side at ear level. The ribbons (to go under the chin) are missing. At the back of the head dress net is gathered in to form a hem.
