Antique Lady's Maid Mobcap

This elegant Edwardian maid’s cap would have adorned the head of a trusted upstairs maid, one who served tea or attended her mistress in the drawing room. Its black silk crown and fine, tea-dyed lace brim reflect the quiet dignity and refinement of domestic service in a wealthy home around 1900. Beautifully constructed, it’s a rare survivor from an age of craftsmanship and grace.

Lace brim 3.25 inches
Sideband 2 inches high
Inner sweatband 16.5 inches

Condition: Excellent. There is a small tear in the interior horsehair mesh lining of the crown, not seen while wearing. No other flaws. See the images and read the description.

Ideal for antique textile collectors, museum study, historical reenactors, period-specific film, stage, or as a unique addition to a Downton Abbey-inspired home display.
