Sourced from a high-end estate collection, this dramatic millinery piece is a phenomenal find for fashion historians, serious collectors, or anyone seeking a museum-quality statement accessory.
This piece was crafted as an authorized deluxe reproduction of an original design by the legendary French milliner Claude Saint-Cyr, who famously designed hats for Queen Elizabeth II and the French haute couture elite. It perfectly exemplifies her signature avant-garde style, featuring a deeply structured, black plush tiered crown that stacks upward into a sculptural cone silhouette. The body is wrapped in a wide, matte-satin contrast band that leads to an exquisite, stylized fold in the reverse accented by delicate black micro-beading.
Condition Note: This piece is in incredible vintage condition. The deep black plush body is incredibly clean, holding its sharp, multi-tiered structural shape flawlessly without any collapsing, warping, or fading. The interior reveals pristine construction with a perfectly clean inner band and a beautifully preserved, crisp designer label. Free of flaws, odors, or signs of wear.
