1920s 30s Hungarian Embroidered Vest Waistcoat Folk Floral Brass Buttons Hammer Pick

C.1920s - 30s Hungarian waistcoat. A traditional folk piece. A very striking design with embroidery in red, green and white cotton threads (the colours of the Hungarian flag). The back has a central floral design. Lined in striped sacking fabric. The outer black fabric seems to be a wool blend. Two pockets with embroidery. Moulded brass buttons with hammer and pick motif. On researching this symbol it appears to be a mining symbol. When i first saw it I assumed it was a Soviet motif but I believe it’s earlier.

Measures: 40” chest, 16” shoulders, 21 1/2” long in the body.

Condition: freshly laundered. There are many areas of damage and some crude repairs. Please inspect the photos and ask any questions you have.
