This brown silk top hat, made by John N. Genin, was created between 1845 and 1855. Top hats were a popular form of men's headwear in the 19th century, symbolizing elegance and sophistication. This particular hat, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of the period. The silk material and the hat's distinctive shape make it a valuable piece of fashion history.
