Vintage 1940s Red Velvet Tilt Hat Navy Blue Feather Plume Bow Women's WWII Era Millinery

Vintage 1940s Red Velvet Tilt Hat – Navy Blue Feather Plume Velvet Bow Accent

Description

A dramatic vintage circa 1940s tilt hat fashioned from rich scarlet red velvet and accented with an extravagant spray of deep navy blue feathers.

The hat features a softly structured rounded crown with overlapping bands of matching red velvet sweeping around the sides. At the front side, a sculptural velvet bow anchors a dramatic feather arrangement composed primarily of long, fine navy blue feathers with a small contrasting golden yellow feather accent and dark center detail.

The asymmetrical feather plume rises dramatically above the crown, giving the hat the height and movement characteristic of statement millinery from the 1940s. The compact brimless silhouette was designed to sit securely on the head while allowing the decorative trim to provide the visual drama.

The interior is finished in coordinating red fabric with a grosgrain inner band. No maker's label is visible in the photographs.
