Re: Wings by Oscar Massin
Thanks ErikS. I wish I had access to the private papers of Mary Goelet, Duchess of Roxburghe. So many questions arise. Were the wings purchased for her? Did she wear them? Or did she purchase them circa 1935 when Cartier incorporated them into the tiara? Or what? How did Massin intend them to be worn initially?
