Vintage 30s Saucer Top Hat Purple Flowers New York Creation

This hat is in the style a 'Empress Eugenie' - ladies hat that is worn tilted forward on the head (in honor of the French 19th c. queen of that name who was known as a fashion icon in her day! It reached peak popularity in the 1860s). Some call it a "tilt hat" but I love the historical referencing with the former terminology!

This one is from the late 30s/early 40s. The saucer top, back of the head strapping are in black, while the large bow at rear is in heavy satin. Top of saucer is festooned with a lovely purple bouquet of flowers. There is a remnant of a black netting that once encircled the flowers and was able to be pulled down across the face.
