Bonnet 1883 - 1887

This elegant "Bonnet" from 1883–1887, crafted by Berthe, exemplifies the fashionable headwear of the late 19th century. The delicate, yellow silk and lace construction adorned with a striking ostrich feather, is a testament to the era's focus on intricate detailing and luxurious materials. The bonnet, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the refined tastes and sartorial elegance of the time.
