Antique Victorian high neck beaded and appliqué bodice from L & H Laufer k.I.k Vienna, Austria, circa 1891.

The ‘modesalon’ of Louis and Hermine Laufer (active c. 1883 - 1929) was the favourite salon of Emoress Elisabeth and other members of the Vienna Court and aristocracy.

The bodice may have been copied from an ensemble c. 1891 by Maisonette Felix the original of which is in the FIDM museum, Los Angeles, California.

The outer bodice incorporates cutwork and appliqué incorporating a light grey/taupe crepe wool which has been decoratively cut and applied over gold lame. 

All the cut edges have lines of fine braiding sewn around them to create a three dimensional quality. 
The bodice has been heavily beaded with gold and metal Venetian glass beads.

The jacket has whalebone corseting and the ribbon band around the waist reads ‘L. & H. Laufer, Vienne’

In excellent overall condition. Some discolouration under the arms. Appliqué and beadwork in exceptional condition.
