Original 1910s ladies bicorn toque hat. An exceptional Edwardian hat with original hat pin dated 1906. It is difficult to capture the beautiful detailing in the bicorn toque hat. Worked upon a cream base chenille embroidery work in rusts, greys and silver forming a geometric and grape like pattern. Over-laying the chenille work is gold wire thread work enhancing the design. A matching sash surrounds the rounded crown. It is an extraordinary and beautifully made hat. The brim turns back as was typical in the Edwardian period and is edged in five layers of cream material covered cord. It has the original linings in cream at the crown and rust at the sides, no labels. In excellent condition, clean and totally wearable. There are some minor signs of age loss of nap and slight shattering under the turn up brim, nothing at all that detracts from display or wear, it is truly stunning. The original marble hat pin is dated 1906. Of an average to large ladies head size, approx. 22.5 to 23 inches. Totally clean and wearable.
