Black, very elegant promenade hat from Germany, ca. 1904. Black silk crêpe artfully draped on a wire frame. Black was (also) a fashion colour at all times. If the lady of the house went out, she always wore a hat. Hats were a status symbol even then: the bigger the hat, the richer and more respected the family. With this hat the height of the artistically applied bows can be changed (in the sense of: made bigger). Very good to excellent condition. The decoration is not included.
Price: 390 Euro
