Rare Antique 1910s - 1920s Edwardian / Titanic Era Floral Millinery Cap An exceptional find for serious textile collectors and lovers of historical fashion. This authentic antique evening or bridal cap dates from the Edwardian to early Art Deco period (circa 1910–1925). The hat features a magnificent, dense crown of layered textile blossoms in faded cream and pale lavender tones, accented by hand-painted millinery leaves and a gathered band of dusty rose silk satin weaving through the center. The structural base is a work of art itself—crafted from an open-weave metallic thread lace frame reinforced with hand-wrapped millinery wire. A breathtaking piece of fashion history, perfect for museum display, boudoir archiving, or careful collection addition.
