1820-50 Boxed Crescent Epaulette (Bullions)

Victorian Epaulettes are constructed differently to 18th C epaulettes. A metal or rigid card body is underneath the shoulder strap. Bullions, spun on wire, are fixed rigidly, often with a fixed cloth fan beneath to hold their shape. Bullion ends are wired to hold them in position. Hand made in the UK with real gold and silver threads, these are not cheap Asian imports. Prices from ?450.00
