French 1930s Deco beaded ladies Calot hat. A beautiful French Calot hat from the 1930s. Calot hats are quite a rarity. This beautiful and rare example is from 1930s Paris, constructed in a completely beaded form. Deco themed intricate bead work is used to form the’Calot’ shape (correctly worn in image 1). The beads are a fine mix of tiny bugle and seed beads in hues of black, white and glimmering nacre.

In excellent true vintage condition, totally clean and wearable with extreme care for its rarity value. Of an average ladies head size, approx. There is minor bead loss in a row at the front (see images), the lining is the muslin base with strengthening cotton ribbon panels. An extraordinary, very rare, museum or collector’s piece.
