Child's Padded Hat
18th century (made)
| Place of origin |
Child's padded hat of pink silk brocade lined with ecru silk twill,
and trimmed with lines of silver lace. The hat has a ribbed padded
brim of blue and silver brocade, which would have had the same
head-protecting function (for a child learning to walk) as the similar
brims on "puddings". The hat has a soft pointed crown which seems to
have always been worn folded down across the head.
