Georgian silver and paste aigrette c.1770 formed of a feather and flowers tied rather eccentrically with a bow at the base.
The aigrette would have been originally worn in the tall hairstyles so fashionable in the third quarter of the century, now converted to a brooch and stunning worn by candlelight.
The Rococo was a movement characterised by lightness and assymetry and naturalistic frivolity and was a time when the free form aigrette was at its most popular.
3.25 inches in length.
