Antique 19th Century Gold Brocade Vest Metal Thread Toggle Closures Oriental

An exceptional vest. I found this in France but I’m unsure of the origin. I believe it’s 19th century judging from the fabric, the style and the cut. Very high quality work. Woven gold metal brocade in a floral pattern. The collar front and hem are edges with a lattice gold metal woven ribbon. The gold braided toggles which fasten up the front are beautifully and intricately woven. Lined in cream silk.

Measurements: 19 3/4” underarm to underarm, 15 3/4” shoulders, 18 1/2” across the waist, 20 1/2” long

Condition: overall very good indeed. The underarms have wear. There are worn and loose threads here as shown. The back has tarnishing as shown.

Feel free to ask any questions.
