Late 1920s / Early 1930s Black Textured Velvet Coat with Silk Lining

 

An extraordinary late 1920s to early 1930s black velvet coat with dramatic surface texture and undeniable presence. This is a deeply luxurious piece, designed to be felt as much as seen, with a richly worked velvet exterior and a smooth cream silk satin lining that elevates it into true eveningwear territory. Darkly glamorous and unmistakably bold, it carries strong femme fatale appeal.

 

The silhouette is elongated and commanding, finished with voluminous bishop sleeves and a sculptural ruffled collar that frames the neckline beautifully. The velvet has an almost carved quality, catching the light with movement and depth that simply doesn’t exist in modern fabrics.

 

Features

  • Late 1920s–early 1930s
  • Black textured velvet with highly detailed surface work
  • Dramatic bishop sleeves
  • Ruffled collar
  • Luxurious cream silk satin lining
  • Original label: Edward A. Stevens Inc., Evanston

  • Waist: 32”
  • Hips: 38”
  • Shoulders: 16” seam to seam
  • Length: 41”

  

Condition

Very good condition with only some wear to the lining as pictured. There does not appear to be a loop to button the coat at the neck nor any evidence of one having been present in the past, however a loop could be added in order to fasten the coat. The velvet remains richly textured and plush. 

 

Why You’ll Love It

This is not a background piece. It’s a coat for collectors who gravitate toward early 20th-century drama, tactile luxury, and garments that command attention. Perfect over eveningwear, styled open for maximum impact, or worn as a standalone statement for those drawn to cinematic, femme fatale dressing.

 

A rare and powerful example of late 1920s–early 1930s velvet craftsmanship — once it’s gone, it’s gone. Explore the rest of the collection for more exceptional vintage finds.
