Antique Silver Buckle Gold Thread Vest
This is an amazing piece that my client bought at auction many many years ago. We know little about it other then it is early! Made of a beautiful deep black silk. The bottom edge has a woven ribbon pattern worked into the silk in a brilliant mix of green, red and yellow threads. The entire front has real metal gold toned thread worked over it. The is done with a heavy hand and continues up and around the neck. The four front clasps are actual metal and quite heavy!! I suspect this was a man's vest but it is a brilliant and amazing piece for now! Note that it is a true deep black and we have lightened some photos so you can see the detail. Excellent antique condition

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care. Please purchase accordingly.
