Exceptional Antique French Silk Lace Ribbon Work Rose Cap with Robin’s Egg Blue Ribbons

A confection of French elegance, this exceptional antique lace cap is rendered in delicate cream net lace, enhanced with a pink ribbon rosette flower and light robin’s egg blue silk ruffled ribbons. Silk ties complete the design, allowing gentle adjustment for display or styling.

In the early 1900s, lace caps like this were cherished beyond the morning — worn for coffee, repose, supper, or even the theatre. Today, these pre-flapper French headpieces are avidly collected for their exquisite craftsmanship and rare survival in fine condition. Perfect for display with antique mannequins, your deco clothing collection, or as part of your lace and textile exhibition.

Collector’s Note
