1920s French Couture Starry Night Sequin Jacket

£2,201.00

Unreal 1920s French Couture hand embellished jacket of a soft cotton base entirely covered with thousands upon thousands of metal sequins in a vivid ultramarine and bright metallic silver. The sequins are beautifully arranged into an exquisite art deco pattern that bears a striking resemblance to Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night. Classic 1920s styling with a straight cut body, finished with long, voluminous trumpet sleeves. An incredibly rare survivor and especially in such incredible condition- an heirloom worthy, once in a lifetime treasure. 

Remarkable near pristine condition with just a handful of missing sequins around the shoulder, only noticeable upon very close inspection. Presents as mint.
