Wooden Hat Stand and Brown Calico Heart Bonnet Duet Beautiful

I don’t think there is anything more appropriate and more pleasing than to display a bonnet or two in our bedrooms whether they hang from a Shaker peg rack or from a special hat stand. These wonderful textiles soften the look and create instant charm! This contemporary calico bonnet is accompanied by a beautiful old hat stand that does an incredible job of displaying this textile. The hat stand has honest wear and exhibits a warm and delicious patina. The large size gives us a hint that this piece may have been used in a millinery store during the early 20th century. The center shaft can be turned and does come apart from the base but the reasoning behind this feature is unknown. There is a simple incised circle in the center of the shaft. The simple form portrays a mushroom shaped top, graduated shaft and a turned base. One tiny chip is present on the edge of the base as shown in image 1. Other than that this stand is in good overall condition without any other chips or crack
