About the Item
Chinese Silver & Leather Theatre Opera / Wedding Tiered Phoenix Headdress, 1920s
Silvered Metal & leather and embroidered Mandarin hat
This Chinese silver & leather theatre opera/wedding tiered phoenix headdress, originating from the 1920s, is a rare and opulent piece that exudes grandeur and cultural significance. Crafted with exceptional quality and intricate detailing, this headdress stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, fitting for grand events akin to Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot" or a prestigious Honorific Mandarin Wedding.
Comprising a stamped, cast, and engraved silver frame in two parts, this headdress measures 15 inches high x 14 inches wide x 16 inches deep, composed of numerous dynamic components. The upper tier, detachable and adorned with three majestic phoenix birds surrounded by smaller birds and floral motifs, is a breathtaking display of craftsmanship. The lower tier boasts a profusion of elaborate elements, including bunches of flowers, crowns, medallions depicting men on horseback, intricate flowerheads, and hanging metal tassels.
Resting atop a 7-inch diameter x 4-inch high Mandarin hat made of tooled leather with an embroidered front and calfskin interior, this headdress offers a complete, luxurious ensemble. A lucite display stand accompanies this remarkable piece, allowing for its graceful presentation and preservation.
A true marvel, this headdress embodies the rich heritage and artistry of Chinese culture, serving not just as a decorative item but as a symbol of tradition, history, and splendor. Its intricate design and exceptional quality make it a standout piece for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a glimpse into the magnificence of honorific Chinese ceremonial attire.
