About the Item
A spectacle of a coat no matter the decade, this extraordinary piece is in such pristine condition and relevant style that it could have walked off this year’s runway. The masterful Chinoiserie beading and gold bouillon thread are magnified by the French blue silk crêpe lining, which perfectly matches the interior paint on the glass beads.
Shawl collar opera coat with gold fishscale Chinoiserie beading around hem and sleeves, and intricate floral beading with interior-painted blue, aqua and white seed beads above; gold bouillon thread embroidery throughout beadwork. Open construction with no closures of any kind; fully lined in French blue silk crêpe.
