FAQs

Wooden millinery heads and hat blocks have been utilised since the 19th century by hatters and tailors to shape, store, and display headwear. By the early 20th century, stylized versions became common fixtures in high street shop windows.

These pieces are typically carved from solid hardwoods such as beech, elm, or fruitwood, often featuring pegged joints, turned bases, and sometimes brass pins or incised measurement markings used by hat makers.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-carved tool marks, natural patina, age-related timber shrinkage, and traditional joinery methods rather than modern machine sanding or synthetic finishes.

Display heads function effectively as sculptural objects of curiosity on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or sideboards, introducing organic form and historical texture to modern spaces.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and dramatic humidity fluctuations, occasionally treating the surface with a microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
