Item Description
French fruit wood hat display stand or millinery form, originating from the early 20th century. These wooden molds were used by milliners to shape material into a specific hat style through a process called "blocking" and designed for a 1920s deep brim cloche style hat. The mold consists of two parts: a rounded head (crown) and a matching brim carved from French fruit wood, and mounted on a turned wood stand with a block form plinth base.
Dimensions: 11 1/2" W, 11 1/2" D, 20 1/2" H
Condition: the joinery between the mold and the standard is fragile and needs to be re-mounted or strengthened, minor stable age cracks, dings and wear consistent with age and use.
