Antique Black Silk Embroidered Reversible JacketThis exquisite antique jacket dates to the 1920s and was fashioned from a black silk embroidered piano shawl. Still in fine enough shape to wear and best of all? Its reversible! I like the red flowers best, even though the seams show on that side. The beautiful orange and gold embroidery pairs perfectly with gold jewelry! The jacket is loose fitting and will fit a variety of sizes. It measures approximately 17 in between the shoulder seams, 18 across

and a few ink drawings

The program has beautiful graphics depicting can-can girls & is in great condition

very convincing

I don’t believe this piece would have had glass originally

First edition hardcover with dust jacket

Both in excellent shape

It’s reversible

The hair would have been hers

Refer to photos for condition: The piece looks never to have been disturbed

I am guessing the “Vassar Girls” inscription on the back of this photo means some kind of theatrical revue: This military-inspired look is clearly a costume and that is a decorative sword and not a fencing foil

The elastic at the bottom & the silk are both fragile & likely to break if the piece is too small for you

remember me
