An original 1900s silk ladies hat with a stylish pinched cloche shape
Trimmed with a lovely original feather plume in a pale caramel shade, bound with silk
The hat has diamond shapes made from fine (woven straw?) appliqued onto the silk. The Brim of the hat too is made from this
Condition;
The Plume of feathers is good.
The silk part of the hat needs to be repaired as there is a large area of splitting close to the crown and some other areas where the silk is 'shot'
The 'diamond' panels and brim seem sound
The lining and inside of the hat needs a few repairs for wear
The brim interior measures 22 1/2 inches
