"Mrs. Ashdown: A Journey Through Time and Fashion" Step into the world of Mrs. Ashdown, where history comes alive through her exquisite collection of headdresses from various centuries. From Isabella of Bavaria's forked headdress in 1435 to the heart-shaped headdresses of the 15th century, each piece tells a unique story. In 1910, these timeless treasures were carefully preserved for future generations to admire. The paltock from the 14th century showcases elegance and sophistication that transcends time. As we gaze upon The Lady Barkley's portrait from the 16th century, her regal aura is enhanced by an intricate headpiece fit for royalty. Not only did men embrace this fashion trend; Sir Francis Drake himself donned a remarkable headdress in the same era, and is fascinating how these accessories were not limited to gender but rather celebrated individuality and style. Johannes Gyniford and his wife captured our attention with their late 14th-century attire, complete with elaborate headpieces that reflect their social status and taste for opulence. Nigel Lorringe and William de Albeneis also left their mark on history with their fashionable choices during this period. The carving depicting a woman wearing a horned headdress transports us back to the enchanting atmosphere of the 15th century when such adornments symbolized power and allure among noblewomen. As we explore Mrs. Ashdown's collection further, we are captivated by an array of women's headdresses from this era - each one intricately designed to enhance beauty while reflecting societal norms at that time. Finally, let us not forget Ladys' stunning headdress from the 14th century - an embodiment of gracefulness combined with architectural marvels that adorned noblewomen during this period. Mrs. Ashdown's passion for preserving these historical artifacts allows us to appreciate how fashion has evolved over centuries.
