Item Details.
Dating from the 18th Century and from Northern Germany this traditional young woman’s Goldhaube cap. Rare & museum worthy the cap has extraordinarily intricate gilt thread embroidery and some coloured glass beaded decoration.
We think this bonnet would have been made for a special occasion, possibly a wedding or ceremonial occasion as the materials used would have been very expensive.
