1950s HENRY ROSEMAN New York Veiled Straw Ring Hat with Velvet Hearts – One Size

Product Description:

A charming midcentury confection from the Henry Roseman millinery archives. This sculptural 1950s ring hat is rendered in finely woven natural straw and adorned with a full halo of inky black velvet hearts at each temple and crown point. A delicate, pieced veil sweeps across the front for just a hint of drama. Designed to perch on the crown with an open center, this is a quintessential postwar cocktail piece meant to complement an elegant coiffure without disturbing it.

Interior grosgrain band. Label reads “An Original Henry Roseman New York.” No size marked; one size fits most when perched.

Condition Notes: Minor discoloration at inner band. Veil is fragile with a few breaks, consistent with age.

Styling Suggestions: Wear with a silk blouse and cigarette trousers for a 1950s gallery opening look—or contrast with modern tailoring for a witty visual juxtaposition. Think Lauren Bacall meets Dries Van Noten.

Model Notes: Photographed on a hat form.
