Antique Men's Theater Crown, Germany, ca. 1890-1910

This exquisite antique theatrical headdress, dating to circa 1890–1910, is a rare and evocative piece from a German collection of stage jewelry. Artistically crafted with regal flair, it was likely worn by actors portraying royal roles—such as King Lear, King David, or other dramatic figures - in late 19th- and early 20th-century theatre productions.

The headdress remains in original condition, with no alterations, and is preserved in very good to excellent condition. Its craftsmanship reflects the grandeur and symbolism of historical stage costume, making it a compelling artifact of Belle Époque performance fashion.

Such antique theatrical crowns are extremely rare to find, and even rarer to see offered for sale, as most reside in private collections or museum archives. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of historical performance regalia, ideal for collectors of antique headpieces, theatrical accessories, or 19th-century costume history.
