Hat 1900

This straw hat from 1900, crafted by H. O'Neill & Co., exemplifies the fashion trends of the era. The hat is adorned with a delicate bird motif, likely made of feathers, representing the Victorian era's fascination with nature. This piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic expression found in 19th-century millinery. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, houses this exquisite example of fashion history.
