From the 1920s a silk brocade lame dress with Egyptian/pharaonic inspired imagery.
In the period following the discovery of the pyramids there was a huge surge in interest in Egyptian decoration which influenced everything from architecture to interiors to textiles and costume.
This dress dates from that time. Made in an iridescent fine gauze cream and coral pink lamé, with stylised dancing figures and elephants.
The dress is a loose, dropped waist, unfitted style and is finished with an old gold tasseled trim around the neck.
It is in good wearable antique condition with some minor marks on the back, nothing very noticeable or detrimental the the piece.
