A beautiful one-of-a-kind wax orange blossom bridal crown; this piece was restored by Waxflower Vintage, a well-regarded UK specialist in antique wax bridal headpieces (no longer trading), who sourced and sympathetically reworked genuine period crowns. Some original antique wax flowers remain alongside sensitively matched replacement blooms, keeping the piece wearable while honouring its history. A traditional Victorian and Edwardian bridal symbol of purity and fertility, popularised by Queen Victoria's own wedding wreath in 1840.
Vintage-style wedding wax flower crown incorporating a small number of antique wax flower components. The wreath was restored and reworked circa 2017, with additional fresh wax flowers added during the restoration. The exact date of the original wreath is unknown.
In good, secure condition overall. A small number of petals (around six) are slightly cracked and no longer firmly fixed, which is typical and expected of wax this age — all original material is present.
