A Rare Early Noke Fashion Study

Poke Bonnet HN612 represents Charles J. Noke's exploration of fashion themes during the 1920s. This charming figurine showcases a young woman wearing the distinctive poke bonnet that was fashionable in the early 19th century, demonstrating Noke's interest in period costume and social history.

Design Significance: The poke bonnet, with its forward-projecting brim, was a defining fashion element of the Regency and early Victorian periods. Noke's attention to this historical detail shows his commitment to authentic period representation.

Rarity Factor: Early HN600s series pieces are increasingly scarce, and the 1924-1938 production period places this squarely in Royal Doulton's golden age. Pre-war Noke pieces command premium collector interest.

Investment Appeal: Early HN numbers (under 1000) consistently show strong appreciation, particularly pieces by master designers like Charles J. Noke.

Perfect For: Early Royal Doulton collectors, Charles J. Noke enthusiasts, fashion history collectors, or investors seeking rare pre-war pieces.
