Irish Crochet Lace Coat, ca. 1904

A museum piece! We rarely use this predicate. But this coat of Irish lace is an extremely rare find. Excellent condition. A successful combination of tassels, flowered paper silk, Irish lace flowers, medallions, flowers, leaves, etc. Coats of this kind were also very expensive at the beginning of the 20th century. In such a coat are many, many working hours. It was worn over elegant dresses in the opera or theatre. They were often without lining in order not to hide the beauty of the dress. The coat is a textile beauty in itself. The decoration is not included.
