Charming little hat from the 1950s.
Made from fur felt, it is a close fitting "skull cap" design which has three swirls, each slightly bigger than the last, running along each side, which help to keep the piece in place. The brim is wired, which helps keep the shape, and the piece is decorated with bugle beads, claw set clear paste and beads.
A versatile piece which would work well for day or evening wear.
Measurements
It is quite a small fitting piece which will work best on up to a 21.5" head.
Condition
Beautiful. Looks to have been little worn. Probably a piece which was kept for best.
