1920s–30s Kashmiri Embroidered Red Pashmina Wool Duster Coat

A striking hand-embroidered Kashmiri duster coat dating to the 1920s–30s, crafted from fine crimson wool and richly decorated with intricate floral embroidery in soft shades of celadon, lilac, ivory and sage green.

Lightweight and unlined, this beautiful piece drapes effortlessly, making it ideal as a layering coat throughout the seasons. The exquisite embroidery frames the front opening, cuffs, hem and pocket, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship for which Kashmiri textiles are celebrated. The original waist tie allows the coat to be worn loosely open, gently wrapped, or belted for a more defined silhouette.

Elegant yet highly versatile, it works just as beautifully over a simple dress as it does with denim, tailoring or eveningwear. A wonderful collector’s piece that remains remarkably wearable nearly a century after it was made.

Condition

 Excellent vintage condition. The wool remains beautifully soft and supple, and the embroidery is exceptionally well preserved with vibrant colours throughout. Unlined as originally made. Presents beautifully.
