Antique-Gown

Boudoir gown from Paris, ca. 1888

Museum Quality!

A fantastic find! We are very happy to present this dress! Boudoir or tea gown. Cardinal (red) brocade with floral decoration, silk ribbons and tulle on the sleeves. Original label from Paris: „Mme. Chaux * 70 Rue Truffaut * Paris“. The hem and the elegant train are decorated with ruffles inside and outside. Very quality work! The one-piece dress is closed in front with hooks and eyes. At the end of the train is a loop that allowed the wearer to comfortably carry the train by hand. A small “Cul de Paris” and two loops are processed internally, to be able to wear the dress in high fashion. The Parisian label, the museum quality, the precious handwork and the rare colour make this gown unique.
