Materials: There is no tag describing materials used.

You will have to be the judge of that.

Crystal clear beads with copper bronze toned threading.

Bead type unknown-these do not appear to be glass.

Measures: Small-Approximate measurements 21”-22” around. Outside 7”H from seam to crown.

Condition: Inside lining has stains, spots, wear, lining is missing some threading/stitching, tiny pin holes, and could use a little repair. Lining needs restitching. Lining has toning from age. Outside area could have any of the following: missing beads, loose threads, surface scratches to beads, tiny chips on beads, missing strings, or repair needed. Visibly I can see only scratches to beads, inside lining stains, lining coming undone from missing stitches and a couple strings loose.

Professional cleaning and repair needed. Outside of the inner lining this cloche is in overall good condition for age. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Day or night it sparkles and it actually keeps your head quit warm.

Sold as-is.
