Mid-19th Century French Oval Pigskin Leather Top Hat Box from Paris
Located in Dallas, TX
This exquisite, antique pigskin hat box was crafted in France, circa 1870.

The piece is in excellent condition and has a rich patinated brown leather finish. This hat box would make a unique addition to a travel, trunk or fashion accessory collection.

Although it declined by the time of the counterculture of the 1960s, it remains a formal fashion accessory. A collapsible variant of a top hat, developed in the 19th century, is known as an opera hat...
