1920s Gold Lame Embroidery Flapper Cap

This is a very pretty flapper cloche or skull cap. The main body of the cap is made from gold lame lace that sits over a semi sheer layer of gold lame. This has oxidized over time to a deep bronze color. Ringing this pretty top portion is a wide band of hand embroidered real metallic thread in a copper and gold- it is tightly done so the effect is that the band is fully covered. A pretty gold cord is worked around the edge and through the band to complement the design and little sequins dance across the band in swirls. All hand done this is a pretty reminder of the decadence and attention to detail paid back then! Priced according to condition, it is still extremely wearable and for me the patina these early pieces gain add to their shabby chic allure!
