Antique Hat Box Top Hat Biedermeier, Austria

About the Item

Very rare hat box for a gentleman's top hat made out of hand printed carton. Considering the frailty of the material this very rare object is in surprisingly good condition. There are probably not many examples left in the world. This collectible box has only survived thanks to the ample and dry storage facilities of an Austrian stately home.
