Lot 385:
A Mixed Collection of Vintage Apparel and Textiles featuring an Embroidered Vest and Child's Overcoat
Description
This eclectic collection comprises four distinct apparel items and a vintage storage box. The primary piece is a black open-front vest, possibly of Chinese or Central Asian inspiration, featuring large-scale floral embroidery in shades of pink, purple, and blue with gold-tone thread accents. The vest is finished with a corded trim and a contrasting floral-patterned lining. Also included is a child’s light pink double-breasted overcoat, designed with a cream faux fur collar, six large dark brown buttons, and a pleated lower skirt section. The lot further contains a white two-piece ensemble consisting of a cropped double-breasted jacket with silver-tone metal buttons and matching trousers, both constructed from a mid-weight twill fabric. A fourth item, a white lightweight garment with burgundy ruffled trim, is housed within a distressed floral-printed cardboard box. No designer labels are present; construction suggests mid-20th-century mass-market or bespoke origins. Authenticity of specific regional embroidery techniques is not verified. Sizes are not labelled; measurements are unavailable.
Condition report:
The apparel items exhibit general age-related wear, including noticeable creasing and surface dust. The white garments show some faint discolouration consistent with long-term storage. The embroidered vest appears well-preserved with minor loose threads to the gold-tone accents. The floral-printed cardboard storage box is in poor condition, displaying significant structural tearing, corner losses, and historical adhesive tape repairs. Sold as-is.
