Lee Menichetti Designer Beaded Headdress
Ref: SD-0908-001
This item was handmade by American fashion designer Lee Menichetti. A native New Yorker Menichetti was famed as an innovator in the design of handmade jewellery and glamorous accessories for over 30 years.
Most of his works were one off pieces for haute couture and the theatre. This one probably dates from the 1960s or 1970s. It consists of three headbands joined at each side.
They are covered with silver leather from which arise a profusion of flexible wires which are threaded with iridescent blue and silver bugle beads. Each wire terminates in a faceted crystal sphere. A truly wonderful and unique headdress!
Size: Bands are flexible and will adapt to a
maximum width of 6½ ins (15 cms)
Total width of the headdress is 12 ins
(30 cms) and the height 3½ ins (8.5 cms)
