Re: An Old English Diamond Tiara P 18 under No 38
Can anyone give any more information about the Newcastle Tiara. It seems a very early date considering that tiaras were rarely worn at this time. The Pakenham tiara is about this date so it may be accurate and the aigrette connects it to the Marie Antoinette aigrette so it may be contemporaneous with that. It is though an unusually grand item when you realise that they were not yet the symbol of aristocratic birth that they later became.
