Flapper Headband hotsell Authentic Antique 1920s Czech Rhinestones with Loop for Feather Bandeau Hair Ornament Jazz Era Great Gatsby Downton Abbey

This is a rare antique accessory dating from the 1920's. This is an authentic flapper era headband or bandeau headpiece. Unmarked but almost certainly made in Czechoslovakia. It's a band formed of two twisted foxtail chains linked by claw set sparkling clear rhinestones. The metal appears a warm antique patina brass now but was most likely silver finished when new. There are loops at each end to which an elastic, ribbon or cord would have been attached. I've knotted on some modern black beading elastic.

One of the most interesting features of this piece is a small rhinestone buckle to one side, which conceals a brass loop beneath, to hold a feather!! I'm including the vintage black ostrich feather shown.

This is a real 1920's piece, not a recreation or modern interpretation The only thing new is the elastic.

The rhinestone portion is 18" long and 3/8" wide. The feather is 12 1/2" long (approximately".

The condition is very good. There is a TINY break on one of the chain wires about 6 1/2" from one end. It is very hard to see and I didn't even notice it when photographing it. This would be a wonderful authentic addition to a 1920's gown or ensemble!
