Vintage 1950s Floral Pillbox Hat | Green Leaf Cocktail Hat | Ruched Silk Rhinestone Mid Century Hat

Vintage 1950s Floral Silk Pillbox Hat – Green Leaf Crown Rhinestone Accent Cocktail Hat

Description

A truly unusual vintage mid-century pillbox hat featuring a richly gathered floral silk exterior surrounding a dimensional crown of layered green fabric leaves.

The structured circular silhouette is wrapped around the sides in lustrous floral fabric with an olive-gold ground and vivid shades of rose pink, red, coral and golden yellow. Deep gathering creates a sculptural, almost pleated effect around the entire hat.

The top provides a striking contrast, covered with overlapping fabric leaves in multiple shades and textures of forest, emerald and olive green. At the center is a whimsical decorative accent combining a plush red pompom, coiled soutache-style trim and sparkling clear rhinestones.

The interior is beautifully finished with pale green patterned satin lining and decorative trim around the inner edge. No maker's label is visible.

An exceptionally distinctive example of 1950s novelty millinery with wonderful color, texture and dimensional detail.
