A B O U T 

An exceptional 1920s evening coat from the legendary luxury retailer Bonwit Teller, Fifth Avenue, New York. This refined garment is crafted from an intricately woven metallic lame', featuring shimmering gold threads set against a black ground in a dense, geometric mosaic pattern characteristic of late Art Deco design.

The coat is cut in a slightly cocoon silhouette typical of the era, designed to skim the body with elegance rather than structure. A decorative woven border at the hem introduces bold architectural motifs, while a vertical woven panel at the back subtly elongates the form. The fabric has a soft yet substantial hand, with a fluid drape that catches the light beautifully in motion. 

Finished with silk-covered buttons at the cuffs and a dramatic black silk neck tie that can be styled into a bow or left to fall loosely, the coat balances opulence with elegance. Fine finishing details—including delicate fringe at the hem and couture-level construction—reflect Bonwit Teller’s reputation for commissioning garments of the highest quality from elite ateliers.

This coat would have been worn over an evening gown for formal occasions, theater, or society events, embodying the glamour and modernity of the Jazz Age. A rare and highly collectible example of authentic 1920s luxury retail fashion.

A museum-worthy piece, ideal for serious collectors of early 20th-century couture and Art Deco textile. In excellent condition, beautifully preserved and seemingly unworn.
