Ladies Vintage Black 100% Wool Hat by Henry
Pollak, NY
This
classic ladies hat could almost be considered a cloche
style. It has a wide bell shaped brim, with a 1 1/2"
silky black band above. The sensational part of this
100% wool hat is the eye-catching floral applique made
of black sequins and black beads, that measures approximately
5" x 7". It definitely adds an element of
flair and pizzazz to this black beauty. On the inside
top of the hat, it says "Countess" (evidently
the style), and Henry Pollak, Inc, New York. A tag stitched
to the inside rim says, "Originals by LeeBury of
Dallas." The Union Made label says EQ370058 in
U.S.A., and the number 6, which I assume is the size.
Measurement from top to bottom is 7". ID=Hat2

Vintage Ladies FEATHERED Hat
~ Stunning ~ With Box !!!!
This
is a beautiful hat, completely covered on the exterior
right up to the edge of the brim; with brilliantly colored
feathers of unknown origin, they are really gorgeous!
The lining is all black. The brim area is a velvet material,
the band is grossgrain and the rest of the lining looks
to be taffeta. There is also a thin chin strap. The
circumference is aprox 21" There are no markings
on the hat or the box that I can see. The hat is is
good condition, there are no areas where the feathers
are missing. The box is in "delicate" condition,
there are some places that are starting to split at
the seamed areas, overall the box looks good considering
its age. The handles are intact, and the bottom is also
still attached.

Art
Nouveau, 1890-1914 (Hardcover) by Paul Greenhalgh
Art
Nouveau exploded onto the art and design scene in the
early 1890s and spread rapidly throughout the Western
world. This lush volume-created to accompany a major museum
exhibition that opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum,
London, before moving to the National Gallery of Art,
Washington, D.C., in October 2000-is the most beautiful,
complete, and wide-ranging study ever published on this
enormously popular and influential style.
A wealth of illustrations and
rare period photographs showcase masterpieces in all mediums-from
Tiffany lampshades, Mucha posters, Klimt paintings, and
Lalique jewelry to architecture by Victor Horta, Antoni
Gaud, and Louis Sullivan. The text, by 20 leading scholars,
is a timely reappraisal of a style that flourished at
the turn of the last century, in a world grappling with
new ideas and rapid social change. Decadent yet popular,
both loved and hated, Art Nouveau gave rise to the concept
of an all-encompassing "lifestyle environment"-a
total work of art designed to appeal to the broadest possible
audience.
This season's most scintillating
art book, Art Nouveau, 1890-1914 will be unrivaled for
years to come.
PAUL GREENHALGH is head of research
at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Former head
of art history at Camberwell College of Art, he is the
author of several books and articles, and a contributor
to Abrams' A Grand Design: The Art of the Victoria and
Albert Museum. He lives in London.
