Rich, elegant pink velvet covers this original 1920's ~ 1930's millinery hat display
stand, with old silver foil paper under base and top.
It is in very nice vintage estate condition, with just very light wear to velvet
edges at top and base, and a little surface dust. Very sturdy and well made, I believe
velvet over wood. It is used, but has been well cared for.
The stand appears slightly crooked in the picture, but this is due to camera angle;
the hat stand is perfectly straight and sits flat, with no wobbles.
Also, due to bright sunlight the color is somewhat darker than shown in the picture.
The color is the exact shade of rosy pink, just slightly darker and richer looking
that image depicts.
While the 1950's quilted plastic covered versions of these stands are quite readily
available, the older, Flapper era velvet examples are becoming harder to find.
They look really attractive in a vintage display, are wonderful decorator pieces,
and make nice gifts. They are also a charming accessory for milady's boudoir or
vanity. Designers often adorn these period examples with antique or vintage millinery
flowers, lace, ribbon, beads, jewelry, etc.
We are presently listing a matching fawn colored velvet period millinery store display
stand that can be found on page four of our Vanity & Boudoir Items category.
