Description
Evening Cap
Woman's; black net decorated with silver-coloured sequins and .3 cm tubular clear glass beads. Sequins and beads are sewn on in a hub and spoke design, with swirls and loops of sequins and beads in between the spokes. Outside of headband is decorated with seven parallel rows of sequins. Inside of headband is lined with white net and black grosgrain ribbon. Cap style is sometimes referred to a "Juliette Cap". Sequins appear pale gold-coloured in some artificial lights, but silver-coloured in bright sunlight. See condition note. Very similar evening cap numbered 997.142.2 has a label: "Made in France", so this cap was also possibly made in France, but the label has fallen off.
