This is a lovely 1940s era hat made in Montreal by milliner Flore Deschamps.  It is made of natural straw with a wide brim.  The crown is decorated with three pulled silk pieces, one in two tones of blue, one black and one a mix of violet and light blue, wrapped with a black velvet ribbon. 

Label: The label reads “Haute Mode Flore Deschamps 276 Mont Royal E Montreal”.  According to historical sources, during the 1930s that address was attributed to “Salon Flora”, but in 1939, it started to be attributed to Miss Flore Deschamps.

Sizing: No size is indicated, as it is custom made.  Still, this should fit a medium sized head.   Please note the following measurements:

Circumference of opening:  20 3/4”

Brim:  4 3/4” following the contour on the underside

Condition:  The hat is in very clean condition - no cracks, wear or soiling, except to the label.  This hat has been very well cared for over the years.

This is a very nice quality hat - lovely form and decoration!
