English Edwardian Period 1910s Austin Reed Leather Hat Box with Top Hat

An English Edwardian period leather hat box, complete with its original top hat, dating to the early 20th century and crafted by the distinguished fashion retailer Austin Reed Ltd. The box is of tapering silhouette, clad in richly patinated leather, and fitted with a shield-shaped brass plaque. Its interior reveals a striking quilted lining in vibrant purple silk, a luxurious contrast to the timeworn exterior. The accompanying black silk top hat, with classic high crown and curled brim, reflects the refined style of Edwardian gentlemen. Together, the pair embodies both practicality and elegance, offering a rare glimpse into the sartorial traditions of early 1900s England.
