Henry Heath Leather Hat Box and top hat Circa 1900s
A stunning example of a Victorian leather hat box complete with a Black Fur Felt top hat. Henry Heath operated out of 105-107-109 Oxford street, London. The leather hat box is stamped with the makers name Henry Heath.
Hat manufacturing was big business in the 19th century when English fashion dictated that everyone wore a hat. The type was also key to defining your social status; top hats for gentlemen, bowlers for the upwardly mobile industrialist and flat caps for lower class.
The top hat is stamped with the makers name Robert Heath, Knightsbridge established in 1849. They were Royal Warrant holders to her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
The top hat measurements are as follows:
EU 58cm
UK 7 1/8
US 7 1/4
Both items are in brilliant condition.
The leather hat box dimensions are 46cm wide x 35cm deep x 29cm tall
