REENACTOR 18THC REV WAR COLONIAL HAT COCKADE VERDIGRIS GREEN SILK BRASS BUTTON

Description

BUY A COCKADE FOR THE HAT YOU MADE!  VERDIGRIS FOR ME!
Handmade special Perfectly Colonial new debut for our online sutlery customers this week is a handmade Changeable Silk Verdigris Green Ribbon Cockade, please see pictures above for viewing pleasure of our latest treasure. It is very luscious appearance indeed. This one is a medium 3.5" across nice eye candy dandy, ready for SPRING 2021.
Handmade of soft Changeable Silk crispy Verdigris Green, this luster silk hand feel fabric ornament is meant to be pinned onto the side of your Hat, or centered on the front BreastBow area of a Day Gown. Changeable means with a small movement your eye will catch undertones of copper flash inwoven threads and Verdigris is the greenish color reaction of copper as it ages over time, turning from shiny to moss like green. Cockades were clothing ornaments Colonists could craft themselves to embellish their garments, and some may represent a particular opinion by show of color; this one is a time honored traditional color that has long represented Antiques characteristics and may be used by man or woman of better status in society. This color pairs particularly well with royal gold, grey, ivory, black and forest green family of color matching.
It measures 3.5" across, a nice plump sized example, with center single shank Antiqued low shine brass rounded finish Button that's round and curved across appearance, a plain serviceable colonial authentic button, with long ties in rear for attachment. Please view item in my hand for actual sizing, and do know I never make two alike, each one with button is never repeated in that combination! Do not worry in picture, Cockade is perfectly round, it just takes a minute to smooth out which I neglected to do prior to photo shoot. It is on my lap now smoothed out to perfection.
Fair warning, one each of each color only will be sold due to my hand surgery. If you like it, do not wait and miss your nightwatch post; bid actively. You may tie, sew, or pin these onto your hats and garments.
