Buyer's Premium:

A collection of contemporary ladies hair accessories and millinery components presented in a cardboard box.

Also included are headbands in blue and green textiles, a cream-coloured fabric headband, and a large orange plastic hair comb. The lot contains various millinery feathers, including a white plume spray and iridescent dark feathers. Accompanying the accessories are two display items: a light tan-coloured mannequin hand jewellery stand and a silver-tone wire display stand featuring four heart-shaped terminals on flexible stems fixed to a circular metal base. A white adhesive label is present on the exterior of the cardboard box, though the text is partially obscured and does not indicate a specific maker.
