Vintage 1950s Straw Hat Red Cherry Fruit Trim Novelty Tilt Hat Mid Century Women's Millinery

Vintage 1950s Fruit Trim Straw Hat – Red Cherry Berry Novelty Tilt Hat

Description

A wonderfully playful vintage 1950s straw hat featuring an eye-catching arrangement of dimensional fruit across the front.

The hat is constructed in a warm natural tan woven straw with a rounded, close-fitting crown and contrasting darker brown rolled brim. A narrow velvet ribbon circles the base of the crown, providing a soft textural contrast to the structured straw.

The star of this piece is the fabulous dimensional fruit arrangement at the front. Glossy red cherries and berry-like fruits are mixed with cream accents and elongated leaves, creating the kind of whimsical botanical decoration so strongly associated with novelty millinery of the mid-century era. The varying shapes, sizes and colors give the arrangement wonderful dimension.

The modest rolled brim and compact crown create a flattering silhouette that sits close to the head while allowing the fruit decoration to take center stage.

A charming example of mid-century novelty millinery and an especially fun piece for collectors of vintage fruit and floral hats.
