Nice. I know I’d seen this piece before, but didn’t know much about the company…
Mossant, a super prestigious French hat brand from the 19th-20th century, famous for high-quality felt hats (especially bowlers). At its peak in the 1920s, they were producing thousands a day and exporting tons to the US. Leonetto Cappiello designed this toward the end of his career, and it’s one of his most iconic works.

Did you look with a loup or magnifying glass to see if it has a dot matrix pattern?

These prints were all over the place in the 90s. Not expensive. Had one that size in my living room. Classed the place up. At least I thought so.
