Edwardian Wide Brim Brown Fur Merry Widow Picture Hat - 1900s Merry Widow Hat - 1900s Gibson Girl Hat - Antique Edwardian Wide Brim Hat

Absolutely stunning and in incredible condition. Professionally designed and constructed, with no labels present. The hat is styled as a wide brim Merry Widow picture hat done in gorgeous rich brown fur (beaver), featuring a wide brown moire ribbon, brass tone embossed buckle and two large ostrich feather plumes in a celadon green and pale pumpkin orange. The interior of the hat is fully lined in brown satin fabric. The brim has a shallow edge and a wider edge for the appropriate positioning. The intended fit is as shown with tilt placement to your discretion, hat pins are suggested to help secure the hat in place.

Presenting condition is impressively excellent with only minor notes of handling. I note some minor areas of crushing to the pile of the fur, generally unseen without close inspection. Structurally sound with gorgeous embellishments, overall absolutely exquisite presentation and such an incredible, dramatic piece of millinery history.
