1920s Embroidered Silk Satin Jacket

1920s Embroidered Silk Satin JacketAn exceptional hand embroidered silk jacket dating to the late 1920s or very early 1930s. Crafted from lustrous black silk satin and fully lined in soft golden silk, it features exquisite satin stitch floral embroidery in vivid coral, lilac, blue, orange and pale green threads. The jacket has a softly tailored shape with a notched lapel, slight flare at the hem and a single covered button fastening a transitional design that bridges the loose 1920s

A truly rare and collectible Phool dress

The silhouette bridges Afghan folk costume and Western bohemian style — exactly the kind of piece sold in London’s Carnaby Street boutiques or picked up in Kabul by travellers heading east

The embroidery is worked on a dark textile ground and framed with a delicate beaded edge

Minimal signs of age

For contemporary wear

others lean toward warm rust

A true statement piece — expressive

and the skirt falls to a flattering midi length with a lightly gathered waist

This example is made from a fine black silk crepe

Waist: 37cm

Please note the hole under the arm is on the outer superficial layer- the inner lining is still in tact and strong
