Hoed van bruin velours chiffon versierd met ruiten van fluwelen band opgevuld met struisveren c. 1920 - 1925

This is a brown velvet hat from the 1920s. It is adorned with a brown velvet band, ostrich feathers, and a long plume of ostrich feathers in a darker brown. The hat has a simple design, with the feathers being the main focal point. The hat was created by Peel Mars, a Dutch artist active in the 19th Century, although this hat was made after his death. The artist was known for his work in the areas of painting, sculpture, and design, although this particular hat is an example of his work with materials and craftsmanship. The hat is a fine example of the fashion of the 1920s, where feathers and other embellishments were popular additions to hats.
