Description
Of natural straw with rounded flat top and slightly down-turned sides, the bonnet is decorated with black silk banding and streamers and a froth of delicately curled feathers off- setting rose silk petals. The bonnet is silk- lined, and its meticulous detailing indicates creation by a milliner such as Mlle Bereux. Circa 1865. Appropriately sized for 14"_15" poupee.
