Frame of 6 feather hat compositions – collection Spring 1960
PU1228-2
These six feather compositions come from the feather and fashion ornament manufacturer A. MEYER & Cie (Paris) — part of their Spring 1960 collection.
They were originally intended to adorn hats, in that golden age when headwear was still a fully-fledged medium of stylistic expression.
Each arrangement blends textures, shapes, and colours with an almost entomological precision.In this case, compositions of emu feathers (kinds of gray hair) and tinted pheasant and duck… a feathered inventory of vanished elegance.
The collection is framed like a fashion herbarium, preserving these delicate bouquets somewhere between craftsmanship and ceremonial plumage.
