Qing dynasty Hat


This is a reproduction of Chinese Qing dynasty Emperors hat


The hat is seen in a painting of Kangxi Emperor in court dress wearing his dragon robes.


The Qing Dynasty ran from 1636 (or 1644 depending on what you count as the start) to 1912.



This hat is actually part of a wedding costume.

The hat is made from mixture cardboard, felt, shiny fabric, beads and what look like Christmas baubles
