A French court waistcoat in embroidered taffeta with exotic decoration C. 1785

About the Item

Circa 1785 France Beautiful waistcoat of the Louis XVI period in cream taffeta embroidered with polychrome silk threads and silver threads. Straight cut, square, with two flap pockets and embroidered buttonholes with nine buttons covered in the same way (one button missing). Exotic decoration with large undulating stems loaded with fruits and imaginary flowers, reinterpreted from 18th century herbarium plates. The decoration is similar to the Indian women of the Enlightenment. Semis with strands and zig-zag in the background. Back in cream cotton fluff and unbleached linen lining (dusted). Rare small and light soiling (in fact very little visible to the naked eye), the very fine taffeta has retained its glossy finish, like a sheet of paper! Good general condition of colour and conservation. Dimensions: Equivalent size 35-36 France. Shoulders 36 cm, height 64 cm, chest 95 cm, waist 82 cm, hips 94 cm
