what a treasure!
this is one of several of these headdresses I have sold ,, they are very rare to find..
This is very nice but just sold a headdress to the last person i can think of that didn't have one yet! I have run through most of the possibilities already!
thanks you never know I'll keep it in mind. I had a client looking for a perak recently and I have just found him one that is really good and original . I'm waiting for the owner to price it but it's strange the way that happens..
A nice combination of exuberance and finesse!
I wanted to show the attached veil. I purchased this piece in Morocco .
Ah - yes! That had so far escaped me. But it is another useful example.
I was listing today headdresses with modesty veils to make my illustration about the veil being a symbol of use the world over. I hadn't gone into the many more types i have had ,, but I think people get the point.. ! these illustrations force me to look at old sales and weep. I see so many things I have n't seen again!
