Vintage 1950s Royal Blue Velvet Hat with Iridescent Feathers & Face Veil | Mid Century Cocktail Hat

Vintage 1950s Royal Blue Velvet Feather Veiled Open Crown Hat

Description

A striking original vintage hat dating to the 1950s, designed in a rich royal-to-deep cobalt blue with dramatic texture and elegant period detailing. The structured open-crown design circles the head with a wide padded velvet band embellished with overlapping iridescent feathers that shift between deep blue, green, bronze and black depending on the light.

A sculptural velvet accent crosses the open top of the hat, giving the design a distinctly architectural mid-century silhouette. Fine blue diamond-pattern netting surrounds the hat and falls generously over the face for the glamorous veiled look so closely associated with 1950s cocktail and occasion millinery.

The combination of saturated blue velvet, jewel-toned featherwork and coordinating veil makes this an especially beautiful statement hat for a vintage collection, formal event or bridal "something blue."
