This antique Chinese child infant silk embroidered silver immortals charm wind hat dates from the 1920s. It is hand stitched, made of a blue silk fabric, with colorful silk raised padded satin stitch hand embroidered lotus flowers and pomegranates. The lotus flower is a symbol of purity and the pomegranate represents love, long life, fertility. There are hollow silver figures of the Immortals sewn onto the front and a decorative charm hanging down the back. These Han Chinese children's and infant hats were designed to provide protection from evil spirits, demons, and ghosts, but also to influence the wearing with important qualities such as wealth, health, courage, academic success, happiness, long life, grace and beauty. This child's wind hat has a round pill box shape, with applique fabric layers and is fully lined in a purple and white cotton calico print fabric, with cardboard ring inside to keep its shape. The hat measures 18 inches in circumference and is 5 inches tall. It is in good condition, with only some small dents, dings and tarnish to the silver charms trim. This is truly a beautiful piece of one of a kind antique Chinese textile art and would make for a wonderful display piece! $100 |
