Oh my, my, my, my!! This is one of the most splendid original Victorian hats Ive ever seen outside of a museum! The hat is made of golden natural straw braid over a wire frame which has been very intricately designed! This is a perch style hat that was very popular around Ca. The hat has a wired piece underneath to secure it to the head, although a hat pin was still definitely needed! On top of the hat, wrapped around the crown is beautiful green velvet ribbon and a bow. There are also large amounts of antique millinery flowers. All original to the hat! I love these type of hats that seem to have a whole garden placed on it, almost as if the flowers were freshly dug up out of the garden and placed there! Ive only seen hats like this in old black and white photographs, so to see one in person is an absolute dream come true. I think I may be rather stupid to sell this, but I know someone else will really enjoy it as well! The flowers have different colors from cream, to pink, to a rich wine color. Not sure what type of flowers they are supposed to be, but there are some rose buds in there! The flowers and leaves are just gorgeous in person. Youll have to see for yourself! There is a lining which is intact but stained. Stitched to the lining is a Paris/Pittsburgh! Couldve been an imported hat from Europe! This is a true museum quality hat and should very much be in a museums collection! Grab this one while you can! You will not come across another Victorian hat quite like this for a very long time!
