Rare Antique Vionnet Beaded Flapper Dress With Horses
Item History & Price
This is a rare beaded flapper dress. I found information that it was a Vionnet dress from 1924. The horse design was inspired by Greek urns. The fabric is green crepe and the beadwork is quite heavy. There are some missing beads and damage, as you would expect from a dress this old. There is a piece of tape reading D-S 1, 20s short. I didn't want to remove it for fear of creating damage. I have another beaded dress from the same estate on a sep...arate auction.

I've added some photos that show the reverse side and sewing technique.
