Lord Keith-Falconer 9th Earl of Kintore's Victorian Circa 1880-1890 Glengarry
Original Victorian glengarry hat belonging to Lord Keith Falconer, a distinguished piece meticulously crafted by Lord Lorne circa 1880. Fashioned from rich dark blue wool adorned with a coordinating toorie and delicate silk ribbons, the hat exudes timeless elegance. Although fully moth-treated, it bears some slight damage from these pests, a testament to its long history spanning close to 150 years.
Size approx 6 7/8 but the bonnet is not labeled ( size not guaranteed as for display purposes )
This would make a great addition to any antique Highland dress collection.
