Antique wax corsage/ bouquet

An antique bridal wreath featuring small wax flowers (often referred to as a *couronne de mariée* or wax flower tiara). These types of headpieces traditionally represent orange blossoms. This custom became popular worldwide in the 19th century after Queen Victoria of Britain wore orange blossoms in her hair at her wedding in 1840. In the context of wedding traditions, these flowers symbolized fertility, chastity, and marital happiness. This piece is in beautiful condition. Lovely for decoration.
