Description
Lovey group vintage hat display. I think for a museum of vintage hat shop.
Starting with .....Vintage Top Hat (possibly riding hat?) very small size 7 1/4 inches. 53cms circumference.
It is velveteen silk outer. Inner leather rim and silken lined (with tears due to its age of over 100 years old I guess). That said the lining can easily be gently torn away and the inner is still in untouched condition. Made by G. Bratton (late Greenway of London).Other than the inner silken lining the hat is in remarkable condition for its age.
The felt Bowler hat is much younger and in pristine condition, with satin lining. Made by Hawkins (Country Collection) - A much bigger size of 8 inches. The vintage tin Hat Box could be Victorian? It is very sound and attractive, of course the appearance is very Vintage with the original brown coating obviously showing its aged patina! This set of millinery is outstanding. I am sorry to see them go, as they are part of my valued collection.
Box length 42cms x width 28cm - with a very slight dent (almost unrecognizable!)
The Owl Brand bowler circumference is 21.5 inches....
