That is a magnificent forage cap. The lace appears to be silver (Is that right?) and of the staff pattern. I would suggest that it could be the undress cap of a Lord Lieutenant of a Welsh county or something like that. It definitely dates from 1881 to 1902. The Welsh Regiment badge on the forage cap was similar, but the cap had a black embroidered band. Finally, the staff pattern lace angles to the left which was worn by Provost Marshalls so maybe he was a PM in Wales.
