Polished silk topper made by Tress of London, sold with original hat box, size 6 3/4 (UK) / 6 7/8 (US) / 55 (EU).
Dates from late 19th century and bears the City of London arms on the interior. The silk is very shiny and polished, with no fluffing.
Very good condition - very small patch of minor wear on crown, but overall in fantastic condition. Wear to the inside is consummate with age for a hat occasionally worn - there is some marking and discolouration. Please do see photos. Part of the fine mesh on the interior is coming away, but this does not affect how the hat sits.
Perfect piece for Royal Ascot or summer weddings!
Will consider sensible offers
