French 19th Century Millinery Shop Display Wood Hat Block with Sterling Monogram II

A rare 19th century French millinery shop display hat block, hand-carved from solid wood and once used to shape and present fine hats in a Parisian atelier. The surface bears a beautiful aged patina earned through decades of use, crowned with a sterling silver monogram, adding a discreet note of luxury and provenance. Both sculptural and storied, this antique hat block now serves as an evocative decorative object—perfect on a bookshelf, console, or within a curated vignette celebrating

French craftsmanship, fashion history, and the art of adornment. Wonderful patina, there is aging, and little pin pricks where the hat maker would have fitted the hat to the form, giving this history and stories. Two pieces, the hat form fits over the stand for display. A unique sculptural accent for your tabletop or shelf display. A striking piece for collectors of millinery, textile arts, and authentic 19th century French décor.
