Distinctive hat from Paris-America, ca. 1920

This nicely decorated, hand-woven straw hat with the label "Richardson's Buffalo * Paris" reminded us of a garden party early 20ies years. Fabric and silk were processed into various fruits that decorate opulent the front of the hat. Two blue velvet ribbons underline the elegance of this hat. The hat is lined with a silk fabric. The condition is very good. Only the brim band is worn on the edge (see photos). The price reflected the good condition, the elegant, opulent design, as well as the label. The decoration is not included in the price.
External diameter: ~ 16 1/2” x 15”
