1930s Yvonne of Cherbourg Black Hand Painted Silk Cropped Jacket

About the Item

This exquisite 1930s Yvonne of Cherbourg hand painted silk jacket will effortlessly afford instant glamour to any ensemble. The piece is petite and feminine, with deeply considered attention to detail in its construction, adding to its unique charm. The shoulders of the jacket are dainty, with a subtle puff feature atop of mid length sleeves that are neatly tapered from just the elbow. The sharp angles of the delicate regency neckline discretely juxtapose the gentle curve either side of the bodice to the waistline. The three front facing buttons are covered in black silk to match the jacket, and each of the buttonholes are finished to perfection with piped silk seams. The tailoring ensures a neatly defined waist that flatters irrespective of whether the piece is worn open or closed, and the piece continues to delight on the discovery that the lining is hand finished at the interior seams. The most striking feature of this piece however, is the beautiful hand painted surface design, a gold leaf motif punctuated with glossy floral decoration in champagne, scarlet, ochre and deep blue. The jacket is in wonderful antique condition, with no notable flaws bar a tiny part of the fabric on the left sleeve is a little distressed. Would best suit US size 0-2, UK size 4-6.
