Mid-century hand-knitted lace bed jacket with silk ribbon roses

$270.00

Brand story: A one-of-a-kind mid-century heirloom, handmade and signed with a label by its maker, Thomson, and a collector's piece for the coquette, cottagecore and vintage archive communities. Fine wool lace knitting paired with handmade satin ribbon-work was a hallmark of high-end boutique home-crafting in the mid-20th century, and keeping an open lace this even by hand takes a true master of the craft. This blush-pink bed jacket has a wide sailor collar adorned with ribbon-embroidery roses and rosebuds in rose, pink and celadon. Every edge is frilled with antique ecru lace, and it fastens with pink satin ribbon ties at the neck and cuffs. The lace is beautifully preserved.

Year: 1950s-1960s. Fabric: Wool.
