Magnificent Belle Époque jet and sequined corsage with embroidered floral silk lace, 1910

  

Exceptional Belle Époque bodice in black tulle, jet beads, and embroidered lace. A magnificent antique bodice dating from the early 1900s.

It comes from the same wardrobe as the other garments currently offered. This elegant piece is made on a black tulle base entirely adorned with soutache appliqués, embroidery, sequins, and jet beads. The neckline is highlighted with a rich decoration of hand-sewn black sequins. The superb front panel is made of fine antique ivory lace, fully embroidered with silk flowers and gold metallic threads, creating a particularly elegant contrast with the black bodice.

The cuffs feature the same lace and are decorated with long jet bead fringes, typical of evening wear from this period. The interior is fitted with original boning, giving the garment a beautiful structure.

A piece of remarkable craftsmanship, representative of elegant fashion from the years before the First World War. The bodice is clean and has been very well preserved for its age. The embroidery, soutache appliqués, sequins, jet beads, and boning are all well preserved. The lace on the front panel shows a slight natural patina due to its age, which adds to the charm of this authentic piece.

Ideal for an antique clothing collection, an exhibition, haute couture, historical reenactment, or theater.
