I bought this tunic from an 80 year old lady,
it belonged to her Mother who was, as you can see from this piece,
a very fashionable lady of her time.
Made from a sheer black georgette with a silk devoré relief
in a moderne oriental floral design of black, emerald ruby & saphire.......
so indicative of the early Art Deco period.
The sleeves and side panels have a trimming of real mink
and the neckline has a hand beaded trim of black bugle beads.
It has no wear whatsoever and is in immaculate condition,
it is quite possibly a museum piece......
it dates to early 1920's
the very beginning of the Art Deco Era.
