About the Item

A rare and elegant two-piece ensemble from the renowned couture house Molyneux, dating to the 1930s. This set includes a sleeveless silk dress paired with a coordinating longline open-front jacket, embodying the effortless sophistication and fluid lines of the period. Crafted from lightweight silk, both pieces have a soft, flowing drape that moves beautifully with the body. The silhouette is easy and comfortable, with an unstructured feel typical of 1930s design. The jacket features a relaxed, open-front cut with contrasting patterned panels at the front and cuffs. Notably, the edges are finished with delicate scalloped detailing—soft, curved edges that create a subtle wave-like finish, adding refinement and a touch of decorative craftsmanship to the piece ().

French Art Deco Couture Ivory Wool and  Silk Floral Flapper Coat, 1920s

French Art Deco Couture Ivory Wool and Silk Floral Flapper Coat, 1920s

Located in Boca Raton, FL

The Roaring Twenties was a period of seismic change in women’s fashion. French designers like Coco Chanel, Jean Patou and Jeanne Lanvin introduced revolutionary silhouettes that broke from the corseted ones of the past. The flapper coat was among these styles, and this one made in France during that time is an exquisite reminder of the beauty that was part of the historical shift. The jacket is tailored from gorgeous ivory wool, with a plain weave that takes on unbelievably rich texture when combined with thin and thick strands—including shiny silk ones that form stripes down its length. Along the cuffs and hem, the weave blooms into stylized Art Deco flowers in lovely shades of red, orange, pink, coral, light blue, green, brown and black. Skipped stitches at their centers make for a finely handcrafted peekaboo detail. Trimmed in faux sheepskin fur, this coat is meant to look cozy, with a wrap front that closes with a button most likely made of Bakelite. Wear it with similar pieces to channel the era or mix and match it with modern ones for a truly one-of-a-kind ensemble. Size estimate: XS/S Measurements: Shoulders: 15.5 inches Sleeves: 21 inches Bust: Up to 40 inches Waist: 28 inches (Please note the button can easily be moved over within up to 8 inches to make the coat larger by the waist and hips.) Hips: 37 inches Length: 40 inches This antique flapper...
