1960s Harald Black Wool Overcoat with Caramel and Brown Check Lining

About the Item

An oversized swing throw-over coat by London society couturier Harald, constructed from a heavy black wool and lined with a brown and caramel checked wool fabric. The mid-length coat is a loose-fitting and collarless design and features long sleeves, lightly padded shoulders and two deep hip pockets trimmed with the same brown and caramel checked wool as the lining and lined with a silky black fabric. Excellent vintage condition; some barely noticeable minor damage to the inner hem. The coat originally co-ordinated with a brown checked skirt suit (pictured) which is available separately. Measurements: Length:43; Shoulder Width:17; Sleeve Length:27; Bust:48 --- Provenance: Miranda Macmillan (née Quarry) - The Countess of Stockton Born in 1947, Miranda Louise Quarry is the stepdaughter of Lord Mancroft. A rebel by nature, Miranda blazed a nonconformist trail through a series of boarding schools and by her late teens, on the advice of a psychiatrist, she left schooling permanently and travelled to Barcelona, which marked the beginning of her peripatetic life. During her travels around Europe in the 60s, she fully embraced the worlds of art, dance, fashion and music. It was during this time that she met her first husband, the late great comedic acting legend Peter Sellers. Although a brief marriage (1971-1974), she has always maintained fond memories of her time with him stating that, ‘It was a privilege to have spent as much time as I did with Peter. He was one of the kindest and most generous people who ever walked this earth’. Miranda began to build her extensive collection of couture garments during her marriage to Sellers, purchasing couture from historic Parisian houses such as Dior and Givenchy as well as from the British designers of the moment, including Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes. We’re honoured to be able to offer them here on 1stDibs. --- All of our garments have been professionally cleaned. Vintage garments have been worn previously so expect some minor signs of wear. We do our best to inspect and describe any flaws on the garment.
