Antique Leather Hat Box, c. 1890–1910
A beautifully aged cylindrical leather hat box dating to the late Victorian / Edwardian period. Featuring its original metal bands, riveted construction, decorative handle, and latch, this piece has developed a rich patina that only comes with genuine age and use. This compact cylinder case represents the height of turn of the century luxury travel.
The structure is solid and the box opens and closes well. The rear hinge is original and functional, with a small fixing missing, consistent with its age. It still functions but is slightly loose. The original fabric lining has been removed over it’s long history and the interior has been thoroughly cleaned, leaving it tidy, odour free and ready for modern use or display. An investment piece for collectors of antique luggage, campaign furniture or premium historic decor.
A timeless storage and decorative piece — ideal for styling at the foot of a bed, beneath a console, or as characterful storage in a living space.
Condition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age
Dimensions: 19cms diameter x 19cms height (56cms circumference)
