Vintage 1950s Chartreuse Green Woven Straw Hat Sculptural Tilt Hat Velvet Ribbon Mid Century Millinery

Vintage 1950s Chartreuse & Green Woven Straw Tilt Hat with Velvet Ribbon – Sculptural Mid Century Millinery

Description

A wonderfully unusual vintage 1950s hat featuring a dramatic sculptural silhouette in luminous chartreuse yellow-green woven straw with contrasting deep olive green accents.

This distinctive mid-century design is constructed over a structured mesh foundation and features broad bands of chunky, glossy woven straw arranged around a tall, squared crown. The open section between the upper crown and lower woven band creates a striking architectural effect, giving the hat dimension and a distinctly fashion-forward profile.

Deep olive green woven straw is incorporated asymmetrically around the lower portion of the hat, creating a beautiful tonal contrast against the lighter chartreuse. A long coordinating velvet ribbon accent drapes vertically along one side, adding softness to the otherwise highly structured design.

Designed to sit high on the head, the hat has the dramatic sculptural presence characteristic of statement millinery from the late 1940s into the 1950s. The combination of unusual color, exaggerated woven texture and architectural construction makes this an especially collectible piece of mid-century millinery.

No maker's label is visible in the photographs.
