| I really need some help if anyone can! I have an antique bit of ornamentation that is made of metal threads, and is pretty large--about 7' wide. I have no idea how old it is, just that it is made with 'goldwork', and what appears to be silk, metal, and wool. Any ideas? |

| Looks like 1900 to possibly 1920 to me....perhaps it adorned a hat? Amazing piece.....needs to be framed! Linda C |

| I've never seen anything like it! Beautiful piece. Should be framed & hung on the wall to enjoy! |

| hmm - I'm bad with matching up the styles to the dates - but at a glance? it's old enough, and the work is detailed enough, to interest the staff at Lacis.com, who are the heavy in to the old flower work : ) |
