Exquisite Embroidery - Photo

Detail of exquisite embroidery to Frockcoat pocket and skirt of a Court Suit, 1780-1790, French, silk. The professional elaborate embroidery on this coat is distinctive with fanciful floral motifs of an exotic nature and commonly unused colors such as orange. Embroidery of this caliber would have been reserved for formal occasions, such as a court appearance. MET
