Antique 1890s Victorian Sage Green Velvet Hat with Wings This charming Victorian era hat illustrates the 1890s fashion for small hats with vertical height to balance the wide shoulder lines of the time. The sage velvet covers the flat crown and is draped around the sides to form a small brim. This then becomes a wired upright ‘wing’. Two taupe feather wings are tucked into the draping, and there is a black silk satin ribbon rosette for contrast. The lining is also black silk. Label: none Size: Crown: 15” Overall: 8” X 8.5” Condition: Excellent but for losses to the feathers as shown. The color of the velvet appears to have changed a bit compared to the color at the base. Price: $115 |

1900s Edwardian Antique Hat in Black Braid and Chiffon This c. 1902 - 1907 early Edwardian era hat has a wire construction, making it very lightweight. That’s the secret to large hats - keeping them light enough to wear. This one is black braid with rows of pin tucked back silk chiffon over a wire frame, with topstitched black silk ribbon rosettes and a large silk rose . The lining is black silk as well. Is this a mourning hat? Possibly. But black was a popular fashion color in it’s own right. Label: none Size: Crown: 17.5” Overall: 11” X 8.5” Condition: Excellent. No holes, spots or fading. Price: $135 |

Antique 1910s Teens Silver Compact Purse These small purses from the Teens are such pretty little baubles. This one would hold a few bills, some coins, and face powder in the mirror compartment. On the backside of the mirror is a celluloid inset for writing notes in pencil. A dance card, I suspect. That’s’ about it. The front is pebble textures with an monogrammed oval cartouche. The back is plain. The small chain handle has long, rectangular links. I believe this to be good silver-plate as it is not marked sterling anywhere. Marks: Monogram: LTJ.
