defunctfashion: Coral Tiara | c. 1860 - 1870 Phillips Brothers, in which the dominant partner was Robert Phillips, were the leading supplier of coral goods in London, as well as being important goldsmiths and jewellers. In 1870 the firm advertised that it had ‘the most complete collection of fine coral work in the world’. Robert Phillips received the order of the Crown of Italy for his services to the coral industry in Naples. I love this so much I posted it twice. Hello you pretty thing!

oldrags: Bonnet, ca 1870 US (Brooklyn, NY), the Met Museum I don’t know how I’d feel about that mink head watching my every move. It feels like it is about 9 degrees in my house right now, and I would punch one of my kittens if it meant that I could wear this.  (That’s a lie- I would need to own it in order to punch one of my kittens.  And it would be Monty, because he tore down my curtains yesterday.)
