Museum Quality Antique Ottoman Balkan Filigree Bridal Headdress Set - Tepeluk (~530/1000 silver) & Cap Diadem (Silvered Brass) - c.1900 - 77.67g - XRF Tested

An exceptional, highly collectible traditional Ottoman-Balkan bridal or festive jewelry set, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The set forms a complete, authentic wedding headdress consisting of a "Tepeluk" (head ornament) and a matching multi tiered cap diadem. This traditional set was crafted by skilled guild metalsmiths (kujundžije) in the Balkan region during the Ottoman era. The Tepeluk served as a prestigious crown plate sewn onto the festive caps of married urban women, symbolizing high social status. The complex wirework features an incredibly dense, delicate, and wavy filigree wire that brilliantly catches the light, complete with authentic tool marks visible under microscopic close Ups.
