C14th Coronet Ermine Fillet Girdle Headdresses Include Lined Mantle Noblewomen Ornamental Surcoat Veil Wears 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 14th century image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, a group of English noblewomen are depicted in their grand attire, showcasing the opulence and elegance of the medieval period. The women wear intricately designed headdresses that include a goffered veil, a coronet adorned with precious stones, and an ornamental fillet. One lady stands out in her ermine-lined mantle and surcoat, the luxurious fur adding an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to her ensemble. The goffered veils, a popular headpiece during the late medieval period, were made by folding and gathering fabric to create a ruffled effect. The coronets, symbolizing the women's noble status, were often adorned with precious gems and metals. The ornamental fillets, worn around the forehead, added an air of refinement and elegance. The noblewomen's costumes were not only a reflection of their wealth and social standing but also served a practical purpose. The ermine-lined mantle and surcoat, for instance, would have provided insulation against the cold, while the decorated girdle would have held the various elements of the outfit in place. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the 14th century English court, where noblewomen adorned themselves in the finest clothing and accessories to display their wealth and status. The intricate details of their headdresses, the luxurious furs, and the delicate fabrics all combine to create a stunning visual representation of the Gothic era.
