Cocktail cloche
Amelia Beard Hollenback (1877-1869) was the daughter of prominent financier and philanthropist John Welles Hollenback (1835-1927). This stylish 1922 cloche features the wide brim popular throughout the 1920s. The design features an interesting play of textures and light in the use of both delicate and heavy materials, especially the sheer brim and veiled and satin-wrapped crown.
