Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite waistcoat represents the epitome of European style during the eighteenth century. The jumps, or waistcoat, is meticulously designed with intricate needlework and delicate silk braid lacings. The front opening features iron alloy hooks and eyes for secure fastening, while the neck and front peplums are elegantly edged with silk plain weave tape. Lacing holes reinforced with silk thread add durability to this stunning garment. Made from luxurious silk fabric, woven with self-patterning complementary wefts pieced together in a mesmerizing pattern, this waistcoat truly exemplifies French craftsmanship at its finest.
