AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Top hat. A wonderful black cylinder hat, truly elegant and in excellent condition, a classic top hat, typically made of silk, very popular between the 19th and early 20th century.
Its protective brown leather case in purple silk to protect the hat. Included inside to maintain the hat's shape is a cushion. worn/tatty being leather but it has done its job preserving the top hat very well.
The black hat is externally in black fur-like fabric with a black trim and internally in cardboard. Inside there is a logo of Fratelli Viganò of Rome, a historic workshop that produced valuable memorabilia from the early 1900s, such as this hat; inside I found a label referring to Avvocato Tancredi Galimberti, Member of Parliament, Italian politician and minister, deputy for the Cuneo district from 1887 to 1913, connected to Giovanni Giolitti. He served as Minister of Posts and Telegraphs in the Zanardelli government (1901-1903). Elected to the Chamber for the first time on 3 July 1887. He was a prominent liberal figure, close to Giolittian positions.
A piece of high historical value. Produced by the Viganò company of Rome
