This delicate antique hat, dating to circa 1890, is a refined example of late Victorian French millinery, designed to be worn at the back of the head—a fashionable placement that complemented the elaborate updos and coiffures of the period. Labeled Marcelle Fauras – 37 Rue Miromesnil – Paris, the piece reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of Parisian hat salons at the turn of the century.
The hat is constructed from bast on a wire frame, giving it both lightness and structure, and is beautifully decorated with silver sequins, adding a subtle shimmer to its sculptural form. The interior is lined with black silk, and features black lace chinstraps and a small velvet ribbon, likely intended to help secure the hat discreetly in place.
In excellent condition, with only minimal signs of age, this rare 1890s Parisian sequin hat is ideal for collectors of antique headwear, Victorian fashion, or museum-quality millinery, offering a graceful glimpse into the stylistic sophistication of Belle Époque Paris.
