Description

An extraordinary late 19thC French gilt bronze object of art in the form of a dented gentleman’s country hat c1880. This unusual and quirky object was probably intended as a vide poche, the place where the contents of pockets are put, such as loose coins, keys or even bullets. It is made of solid cast bronze, quite heavy, with the gilded finish known as ormolu. The decorative leaf and feather adornment attached to the hat band suggests the design was based on the sort of hat worn out hunting or shooting. It is a really interesting and amusing piece but useful at the same time… and bronze!
