A wonderfully sculptural piece of true mid-century millinery from the 1950s. This elegant open-crown halo cocktail hat is crafted from a rich, deep burgundy velvet over a sturdy open ring frame.
The standout feature is a beautifully detailed, architectural wire-framed metal petal shapes detail sitting off to the side, completely wrapped in matching plush velvet. To add to its allure, the hat features its original burgundy face netting adorned with classic fuzzy chenille dots (point d'esprit).
A highly wearable and incredibly chic piece, perfect for attendees of Goodwood Revival or period events. Designed to frame the crown of the head rather than pull down fully.
In great vintage condition, no obvious flaws.
