My newest *antique* Edwardian hat purchase! This one just came to me a couple of days ago from a little vintage market in France.

This is a magnificent picture hat from ca. 1909-1910, when hats were at their biggest! This hat is 20 inches wide! It is made of tightly woven straw braid with black velvet underneath the brim, and is trimmed with sixteen large handmade millinery carnations in differing colors. I’m dying!!! There are several large wired bows made of dotted tulle. It also has a Paris label sewn inside! It reads,

“Mme. Large Modes, 10 Rue de Hanovre, Paris-Opera.”

This hat is absolutely museum worthy and I couldn’t be more proud to have brought to Oklahoma!

Dunlap & Co. New York top hat. made on December 11th, 1902. not bad for a 117, almost 118-year-old hat. the early 1900s were pretty much the end of common top hat-wearing, even though you would still see them occasionally, people were switching over to less formal hats like bowler and boater hats. Top hats this old fitting larger head sizes, like this one, are very rare to find today, and also rare to find in this good of condition.

A new Edwardian hat I just got from France.

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of natural and black colored straw braid. There is a large statement bow made of red velvet and green silk. Stitched onto this bow are two wonderful steel cut buckles with rhinestones. The most amazing aspect of this hat is the large exotic taxidermied bird with bird of paradise plumes.

The label inside the crown reads, “Aux Trois Quartiers, Boulevard de la Madeleine, Paris.”

Had to throw together a quick display to properly show my newest antique Edwardian hat!

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of tightly woven Milan straw braid with an upturned brim. It has black velvet ribbon around the crown, along the back, and on underside of the brim. The best part is the abundance of lovely handmade silk flowers and foliage!

This hat is completely lined and has a stamped label which reads, “Duffy McInnerney Co., Rochester, N.Y.”

Late 1890s or very early 1900s forest green wool coat with the most beautiful trims!

I have it paired with an original turn of the century hat and muff set made entirely of pheasant pelts!
