Vintage 1940s Burgundy Wool Felt Tilt Hat Gold Bird Brooch Bow Wine Red Women's WWII Era Sculptural Millinery

Vintage 1940s Wool Felt Tilt Hat – Deep Burgundy Wine with Bow & Gold Bird Brooch

Description
A beautifully sculptural vintage circa 1940s tilt hat fashioned from rich burgundy wine wool felt and accented with a tailored felt bow and charming gold-tone flying bird brooch.

The hat has a wonderfully dramatic asymmetrical silhouette, with a sweeping upturned brim that rises high across the front and side of the face. The crown sits low beneath the brim, creating the angled, forward-perching profile so strongly associated with fashionable 1940s tilt hats.

A narrow matching burgundy felt bow stretches across the front, adding a tailored feminine detail without competing with the striking silhouette. Above it sits a wonderful dimensional gold-tone bird brooch depicting a bird in flight. The bird carries a small triangular blue accent at its beak, providing an unexpected jewel-tone contrast against the deep wine-colored felt.

The rich burgundy shade is particularly beautiful for fall and winter and has the sophisticated versatility of a neutral while offering considerably more visual interest than black or brown.

The interior is finished with a grosgrain band and retains its original manufacturer's markings, including "100% Wool Made in U.S.A." A distinctive piece of wartime-era inspired millinery with a particularly wearable color and an exceptionally charming figural accent.
