EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful and frivolous addition to any woman's Christmas collection, this blackbird headdress from 1938 is an exquisite example of the unique and unusual evening wear accessories of the era. Available at Dickens and Jones, this headdress features five beautifully mounted blackbirds atop a velvet-covered base, adding an air of elegance and whimsy to any holiday ensemble. The 1930s were a time of glamour and innovation in fashion, and this headdress is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the period. The blackbirds, with their glossy feathers and expressive eyes, add a touch of natural beauty to the piece, while the velvet base provides a luxurious and rich contrast. For many women of the time, receiving such a frivolous and unexpected gift was a source of great joy and excitement. The headdress was not a practical or necessary purchase, but rather a treat, a indulgence that added a sense of fun and adventure to the holiday season. This photograph, taken by Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the image of the blackbird headdress, serves as a reminder of the charm and allure of the past. It invites us to imagine the woman who received this gift, and the delight she must have felt upon opening it on Christmas morning. Whether worn for a holiday party or as a conversation starter at a cocktail soiree, this blackbird headdress remains a timeless and enchanting accessory, a reminder of the magic and wonder of the holiday season.
