Thak you Juscha. What a lovely comment. Many thanks. Yes, I can see the Queen of Denmark with this tiara. It would look lovely on her.

: Oh what a find! Congratulation and thank you
: both, Hans and Arthur, for picture and
: match!
:
: Extraordinary piece, illustrious provenance,
: quite old and not really recognised by the
: same time - we do not see this very often.
:
: Please, no laughing - recently I was looking
: the 5th season of Downton Abbey. All the
: ladies in the modern jewellery of the 1920th
: except the Dowager Countess in her usuall
: "old fashioned" style. I guess
: itīs quite near the reality and I guess
: noble ladies must have had either tons of
: "old fashioned" jewellery in her
: caskets or making dates with their jewellers
: on a regular base to change or deliver in
: payment their old pieces. They did both I
: suppose.
: To be honest itīs an interesting precious
: but the only royal lady able to wear this
: tiara to her benefit might be Queen
: Margarethe. Probably she would forget the
: frame and put the part on her hairdo.

: Beautiful!
:
: Is this a new creation by Chaumet, or an
: older piece? It actually looks like an
: assortment of antique brooches assembled as
: a tiara, rather than as a "real"
: tiara.
:
: The central flower, with its carved emerald,
: reminds me of a corsage brooch (by Faberge,
: if I well remember?) which belonged to a
: Russian Grand-Duchess, and which was
: pictured in various books about the Russian
: imperial jewels.
:
: Beautiful, anyway, and certainly worth to
: adorn the head of a Queen!
:
: Edit: There is definitely a match with this
: brooch by Nitot (Chaumet's ancestor), sold
: by Christie's in 2014:

:
: The description of the brooch on Christie's
: website mentions that there is a tiara frame
: with the brooch.
