Hat
Hats from the Edwardian period often stand out amongst millinery by their wonderful shapes and impressive size, as exemplified by this plush hat with its generous proportions and subtly curved brim. Draped satin rosettes bring the same robust quality to the trim. The felt is a particularly lush rabbit fur plush, adding to the luxurious and rich appearance.
