This is a pair of wooden vintage / antique hat boxes - dating to the early 20th century. They are a lovely pair the larger is made from bentwood and in excellent condition. The larger one has some remnants of old paper travel labels relating to their travels with a more affluent owner. The smaller one is made of thick leather and lined with cream linen.
Love the little printed manufactures stamp featuring a 1920s flapper / lady carrying one of their boxes - printed inside, as photographed.
The largest one has a diameter of 19 ½ inches. Height is 10 ¾ inches. The smallest one has a diameter of 15 ½ inches and 9 ½ inches in height.
Both are in good shabby chic condition. They have the original patina of age - both are sold as nice and clean - but with signs of age. They have not been overcleaned etc - to remove the period attractiveness of them. The leather straps on the smaller box are in good antique condition. It also has a carry hand on the top of the lid - and a previous owner stencilled initially on the side DC, as again a nice bit of period charm.
Please look at my photographs to assess the condition.
They are absolutely fabulous display pieces - and great to feature in window displays in shops specialising in period luggage or travel.
I have these priced at £225 for the larger one and £175 for the smaller one. That is a grand total of only £400 for the two of them - SOLD AS THE PAIR
