Incredibly gorgeous 1920s silk lamé jacket with a stunning floral art deco print in a riot of vibrant colors. The silhouette is reminiscent of the works of Paul Poiret in the way that the fabric effortlessly drapes around the dropped waist and hips, creating a soft and sultry look that moves gracefully with the body. The softness of the material is contrasted with a delicate structure of a beautifully crafted Czech brass filigree buckle closure. The drape is exaggerated even further by the wide dolman cut of the shoulder and the dramatic angel sleeves that fall elegantly around the body. On top of the exquisite design elements, this piece is incredibly beautifully made - the high level of craftsmanship is particularly evident in the use of dress weights sewn into the hem at the side seams to ensure a consistently perfect drape in the silhouette. A rare artifact of the art deco era that translates seamlessly into a modern wardrobe, and just the right piece to take a simple look for ordinary to extraordinary.

Excellent condition.
