A 1900's antique finer weave straw hat from the Edwardian era. This treasure, with its wide brim, is 16" in diameter. The crown is 2" tall and is styled with a beige silk ribbon affixed with a bow and short streamers. Two fabric flowers adorn the one side. One a purple lilac and the other a plush, in a fushia color. It has a silk lining inside the crown, which is partially shattered. The label reads: English Warehouse, Clift (I believe) and French, circling the label. Inside label: Rue Basse Du Rempar, 74, Bould de la Madeleine, 2 Rue Vignon. Under the label the word Trademark with the words London Manufacture. I would assume English manufacture for French market.
Condition: Very decent but not perfect. Shattering to the silk lining with some staining. The same to the ribbon hat band. A break of the weave of the straw in a couple areas near the edge of brim. Although these really don't show, the hat could still be worn with care or display.
