Late 1920s/Early 1930s Off-White Silk Velvet Opera Coat
An incredibly rare survivor: a full-length evening coat in soft, lustrous off-white silk velvet, with exquisite hand-stitched diamond quilting across the shoulders, front and back yoke and necktie. A ruffled collar with a self-tie neckline finishes the design beautifully, while the fluid sleeves capture all the drama and romance of the era. A genuine piece of couture-level craftsmanship, rarely found in this condition.
