Re: [h-cost] 14th C. hairnets
Here's a bit more info: One of the nets is netted from 2-ply silk threads in green and white with arms embroidered in silk and gilt silver thread. The arms were embroidered on coarse linen ground and then sewn on to the net. The other net is made from narrow woven silk bands, white, with parchment bits sewn on to the crossings. The parchment was probably once blue. I have long since wanted to reproduce that net, and I even managed to get parchment and silk bands, but I haven't found the time yet. Both nets come from art and antiquity sales, so their provenance is not known, and dating is a little unsure because of the same reasons. They probably date to the 14th c. though.

Re: [h-cost] 14th C. hairnets
How very, very cool, thank you. Is this one woven (for lack of a better word) braid with spangles at the intersections? 2nd half of the 14th C http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z123/Castlegrounds/hairnets/c49.jpg emma ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] 14th C. hairnets
Some friends asked me to upload these and I thought that some of you might be interested as well. Here are images of two hair nets 1st half of the 14th C. Note the 38 heraldic devices on this one. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z123/Castlegrounds/hairnets/c48.jpg 2nd half of the 14th C http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z123/Castlegrounds/hairnets/c49.jpg Enjoy!
