If I did not know the source of this top and the fact that it did indeed come from the same estate that many of the 1920s piece I am listing came from I would almost think it a later period. It is in such fantastic condition and feels so modern it is astounding! It still retains its little early size tag at the neck and was created with some of the best sequin work I have ever encountered. The finest deep red silk chiffon has tiny hand applied sequins in black and clear running over hand dyed striping done to the silk. It is cardigan style and all the interior work is completely done by hand. Wonderful!! Excellent condition

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care. Please purchase accordingly.
