3 1/3 yards metallic brocaded silk, 1920s

Many lovers of vintage clothing were first drawn to collecting by the beauty of early textiles. Antique metallic textiles have a burnished mellow glow that cannot be found in modern lurex copies. This unused piece of metallic silk is a special find for the lover of textile art.

The silk is woven with a faille weave that is brocaded with metallic gold. I love the chartreuse color of the ground.

The condition is excellent. The fabric has never been used.

It measures 122" long by 37" wide.
