19th Century Antique Silver & Gold Bullion Jeweled German Folk Bonnet Cap. Tweet
|
This antique silver and gold bullion jeweled German folk bonnet cap dates from the early 19th century. It is hand stitched, made of lace woven from thin strips of gold and a silk fabric back covered with silver thread, metal stump work, set with colored blue, red glass stones in a raised floral design and accented with silver metallic sequins. This traditional regional ethnic European German folk costume skull cap bonnet would have been worn by the women of Munich, the Bavarian region in Germany from 1755 through about 1850. It is lined in a silk & linen fabric and is a museum deaccession marked inside Germany. The beautiful bonnet measures 21 inches in circumference around the face and has bottom straps measuring 19 inches across from back to front. It is in good condition, with some fraying splits, stains on the inside lining and backing. The bottom trim is frayed and missing in a small area on the side. This is a truly a rare and wonderful piece of early German regional textile folk art!
