Lappets, a fashion accessory that has stood the test of time, can be found in various forms and styles throughout history. From detailed flower books to intricate sleeve ruffles, they have adorned garments with elegance and grace. In the 18th century, a detail of a stomacher from the 1730s-50s showcases lappets made of silk and linen. These delicate additions added flair to women's attire during this period. Nature also finds its way into the realm of lappets. The TemminckAśs tragopan male bird displays vibrant lappets during courtship rituals. Similarly, the Lappet Moth flaunts its wings on tree bark, showcasing nature's own version of these decorative appendages. Moving forward in time, France becomes synonymous with exquisite lappet designs. A pair of joined lappets from the 1740s features sleeve ruffles that exude sophistication. Another set from the late 19th century showcases unknown creators' craftsmanship through their intricate lacework. Belgium also contributes to this trend with a collar featuring elegant lappets dating back to the late 19th century or early 20th century. This piece demonstrates how they were not limited to clothing but extended to accessories as well. Flanders joins in on this fashionable journey by presenting us with cap crowns adorned with paired lappets from different eras - one set hailing from the mid-18th century and another from around two decades later. Throughout history, whether it be in fashion or nature-inspired designs, they have remained an enduring symbol of beauty and creativity. Their presence adds an extra touch of charm and refinement to any ensemble or display they adorn.
