Antique Milliner’s Hat Form on Turned Stand
CHF 220
A sculptural wooden milliner’s hat form mounted on a tall, carved pedestal.
The form’s aerodynamic silhouette captures the Art Deco fascination with movement and modernity, while the fluted base still nods to earlier craft traditions — a beautiful blend of eras and function.
Once used to shape and display hats in an atelier, today it stands as a tactile piece of design history — warm patina, tool marks, and all.
