STUNNING & RARE! V. ORNATE NOUVEAU BEADED EDWARDIAN RECEPTION GOWN - WOW!
Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime chance to own this masterful piece of Edwardian Era textile work - This wool wrap gown with silk micropleated ruffle, lace and ornate beaded, nouveau style shawl collar is a must have for any serious collector of fine historic garments and high fashion! THE REAL DEAL!! Excellent original condition - several small moth holes overall. Approx. m...easurements are as follows: Bust: Approx 18 1/2" across, waist 16 " across, Length overall approx. 58" from neck to hem. Museum quality dress - not recommended for general wear, theater costume or aggressive use due to the age of the fabric.
This fabulous collection originated in San Francisco and was assembled by one Ms. Gherig. The collection dates from the 1820s through the 1930s. Ms. Gherig gave antique clothing presentations for professional organizations, museums, etc., throughout California, mostly centering in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In the late 1940s, Mrs. Moore offered to assist Mrs. Gherig, with her shows, across California.
In the early 1950s the aging Mrs. Gherig became unable to continue, so she sold the collection to Mrs. Moore who then continued on with shows and enlarging the collection.
This became her passion until the 1970s when she decided to retire from her historical shows, eventually gifting the collection to her daughters, who have now decided to share these stunning fashion pieces, with other collectors.
