Provenance: France
Condition: Good with some age patina, but actually READY TO WEAR. Taffeta fabric has golden shadows in many areas (see pics). These are genuine restored and cleaned pieces. This is the perfect bridal headdress for a boho bride, an authentic "something old". So please do not consider if you are looking for something new.
The pieces will be packed very carefully into a proper box. I always combine shipping when possible. Overruns will be refunded via Etsy. I'll be pleased to answer any question. All sales are final.
* Please, notice that the listing is just for the wax tiara, bracelet, corsage and boutonniere: tulle veil is NOT included.
