Beaded straw hat, c.1910
The hat is fashioned from dark navy straw and is lined with black cotton. The close-fitting style is a forerunner of the famous Jackie Kennedy pillbox.
The front is decorated with a complex applied panel of iridescent navy bugle beads. The panel frames two pie-shaped inserts of embossed plastic patterned to resemble feathers. The panel is bordered with folded gros-grain, navy ribbon.
The condition is excellent.
The hat is 4 1/2" tall. The inner crown circumference is 22 1/2".
