FINAL PAYMENT TAMARA Gorgeous 1920s black silk cocoon coat with padded collar and rope detailing

1920s Chrysallis Coat...

Design - Here we have an absolutely exceptional black silk cocoon coat from the 1920's. It's somewhat like an opera cape in that that the arms slide through slits, but unlike a cape it fastens at the waist. A second upper layer trimmed in intricate rope work hovers above the first cocoon layer of the coat. Undoubtedly, this pieces best feature is the padded collar. It had two padded sections that wrap around the neck and fasten at the front creating the utmost drama. The entire piece is the exaggerated fashion plates of the era, signifying this other worldly silhouette, come to life.

Material - black silk, grey silk lining, black rope work trimming.

Maker - There is no makers mark but this coat was exceptionally well designed and created.
