Our price: £24.50
This crown, made with pearls of extraordinary quality, was ordered for the wife of the first king Maximillian I, Caroline Frederika of Baden. She was openly an adversary of Napoleon, to whom her husband, to her constant humiliation, was pledged. The crown was reset at the order of Ludwig II, who came to the throne in 1864, for his cousin and fiancée Duchess Sophia of Bavaria. He had given her the Wagnerian name Elsa, often had Wagner's operas staged exclusively for the two of them, and in general behaved so strangely that the betrothal had to break off. Poor Sophie, who was never to wear the crown of Bavaria, died many years later in a fire. Base metal: Lead free Pewter gold toned, velvet hat, Swarovski ELEMENTS. This product comes with a Gift box and romance story card.
