Description from the seller
Antique Victorian leather hat case – presumably England, ca. 1890
Beautiful antique Victorian leather hat case, presumably manufactured in England. A characterful and decorative object that was originally used for storing and transporting a gentleman's hat, probably a top hat.
The case is made of dark brown leather and has over the years developed a lovely, warm patina. The original construction is fully intact, including the leather carrying and closing straps, metal fittings, hinges and the characteristic interior with securing straps to keep the hat in place during transport.
The object is in authentic antique condition, with visible age and use marks. The leather shows natural wear, discoloration and patina appropriate to its age. It is precisely these traces that give the case its historical and authentic appearance.
A special piece of Victorian travel and gentleman's accessories, suitable for collectors of antique leather, historical clothing accessories or as a striking decorative object.
