Fabulous Straw Hat with Chartreuse Floral Decorations!
With Provenance! Label: Maretta Feeley, 6 E. 53rd Street,
NYC. I will not let this hat go cheaply... it
kills me to let it go at all... The most fantastic curvy,
twisty, high straw hat I've ever seen! Look different
from every angle. Smothered in tiny chartreuse velvet
flowers with speckles of lavender stamens, deep brown
velvet ribbon and veiling. Perfect, Excellent condition
right down to the original two matching straw hat pins!!
Not only a great hat, but with provenance... owned by the
daughter of the Ambassador to Luxembourg, Miss H.
Westlake of #1 5th Ave, NYC. Hats of this era were often
quite tall, and this is no exception. If you have a hat
collection and you are seeking the ultimate from each
era, look no further. (Thanks for historical dating
assistance Neil!)
