Victorian Womens Silk Wide Brim Hat Black Ribbon Jet Decoration 1890S
$ 77.00
Antique hats like this Victorian Silk hat are getting harder and harder to find especially one in this condition. This hat consists of a wire frame to which yards and yards of black silk chiffon have been gathered, pleated and attached. It has a velvet inside hatband but it is unlined.
The antique hat has a 2 black jet ornaments on the top of the crown which is rather flat as is typical of hats from this era and the brim is about 3 wide. No label. In pretty good shape there is some damage as shown in the photo but overall in nice shape. You can dress it up with trims or feather- its a great base!
It measures about 13-14" across the hat and the crown is 6" across. The crown is not meant to fit the head, just sit on top with a pin.
