Lace flapper evening cap with metallic bird, late 1920s
By the late 1920s, the bell shaped cloche was pared down even more to a skull cap shape. An essential part of the wardrobe of the most stylish flappers, an authentic flapper evening cap of exceptional design in good condition is a rarity on the market.
The cap is fashioned from black net embroidered with bronze metallic ribbon and black cording. The large bronze metallic bird has glass eyes and a black beak.
The flapper was the "new woman." She could be identified by appearance, but personality was just as important. She disdained convention and was often witty, even outrageous. She liked to shock her elders, liked to be kissed, craved admiration and got plenty of it. Yet she often displayed a surprising innocence about worldly matters; this only added to her attractiveness.
Your grand entrance on New Year's Eve in our scintillating Deco cap would be just as dramatic as that of the flapper who originally wore it. Mrs. Hope...undoubtedly brought such a cap to the memorable weekend that I chronicle elsewhere.
The condition is excellent and wearable.
The inner circumference of the brim is 23".
