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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1900-1914, Edwardian \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mop Cap, Mobcap, Workwear, Domestic Servant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweatband:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 1\/2 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSideband:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 1\/4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Tea-dyed Ecru White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silk, Linen Lace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unbranded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition.

While lower-ranking scullery maids wore simple cotton caps, senior staff like upstairs and ladies' maids often wore refined pieces featuring quality silks and delicate lace accents. These caps were part of a strict sartorial code that signified respectability, order, and the hidden labor behind grand household estates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824736243901,"sku":"HAT001","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/HAT001_1.jpg?v=1789434916","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1900s-1910s-ladys-maid-mobcap-hat","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
