All the Paris markets at your fingertips. With decades of contacts/partnerships in France and throughout Europe, we've done all the hard work for you!
I have 2 of these, matching tiaras which were created for the sisters of a late 19th century bride. There were 2 together, very unique and matching though not exactly alike. I'll offer them separately but the information is the same. This will be #2, and #1 will be sold separately. Entirely bespoke! A metal matrix beset with very large French paste pearls, the largest in a freshwater pearl irregular shape, each one is prong-set and have lasted the test of time. You can see there is a horsehair or coarse woven panel at the headband to which I imagine was sewn a veil for the wedding. Kept as souvenirs for generations, they were recently brought out of the family chateau along with other family mementos, to include a set of 3 in blue/clear gems which we have offered and sold earlier. I do not have the family name, only the story of a wedding, and 2 sisters of the bride. Full measurements are noted on the photos. Very good condition for age and type, with all French created or paste pearls intact and unbroken. I did clean it well, and check to be sure the faux pearls were firmly strung on their wires and unbroken, though some have light flaws of age. These are handcrafted on a sturdy metal matrix that is bendable and can be shaped a bit to one's head. One can remove the white netting, as it's only sewn on, but I'll leave it in case a bride (or her sisters) wish to use it again. You are buying 1 crown in this offering.

ShippingPaymentReturnsYou are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us.

We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Thanks!
Our shipping days are usually Monday and Friday though we do our best to ship within one to two days once paid. Otherwise, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
