Lot Description: An Unusual 19th Century Girls or Doll's Hat , beautifully made with panels of hand-made bobbin lace for the rim, in gold metal thread, and a mix of pastel silk thread and gold metal ribbons for the crown. The crown has a stiff interior, in an oval shape, meaning the hat would perch rather than fit securely on the head. The crown is designed with coiled metal ribbon, and silk embroidery in chain stitch, and finished with a pale green and gold ribbon and metal ribbon below that. The rim, with an outer edge shaped over wire, has a particularly intricate lace inner border, and a scalloped outer edge. Finished on the upper and the underside with a pale blue silk bow. Approx. 7.5 inches or 19cm by 8.75 inches or 22.5cm. Condition Report: . Very good. ARR: Categories: Fans
