EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century Man's fitted, double-breasted banyan or at-home robe showcases the opulence and elegance of the Rococo era. The robe, dating from 1750-60, is crafted from a luxurious silk satin damask fabric adorned with a vibrant floral design in contrasting colors. The two-piece set-in sleeves, complete with cuffs, add a refined touch to this garment, while the mandarin collar completes the sophisticated look. Originally hailing from China, the banyan became a popular choice for European men as a comfortable and stylish alternative to traditional formal wear. The robe's double-breasted design, with its elegant buttons and buttonholes, adds a sense of formality and sophistication. The rich, green color of the robe adds a touch of the exotic and is reminiscent of the lush gardens and landscapes popular during the Rococo era. This stunning piece of 18th century heritage art is a testament to the intricate textiles and fashion trends of the time and continues to capture the imagination of collectors and historians alike. The banyan was often worn as a morning gown or robe de chambre, providing comfort and style for the wearer in the privacy of their own home. This beautiful example of 18th century menswear is a must-have for any serious collector or enthusiast of historic textiles and fashion.
