Antique Black Silk Top Hat – Maison Duval, Saulieu – 19th-century Napoleon III Hat

An antique top hat bearing the Duval house mark from Saulieu on the inside, surmounted by a crown.

This hat features the characteristic silhouette of 19th-century top hats, with a tall, slightly flared crown, a wide brim that is also trimmed, and a black grosgrain ribbon encircling the base of the crown.

A rare model from the Napoleon III era, with a crown height greater than that of classic late-19th-century models

The interior retains its original silk lining, bearing the gold mark “DUVAL – Saulieu” accompanied by a crown.

Signs of wear, scuffing, small areas of material loss, and damage to the interior lining are visible in the photographs.

Height: 21 cm
