Uncut Waistcoat Fronts (France)

 

We have 9 images of Uncut Waistcoat Fronts (France) .

This rectangle of slightly worn, cream-colored silk is embroidered with floral designs arranged in the shape of waistcoat panels. In the top corners, split three and three, are six round button covers with pink bud motifs. At upper left are two bouquets bracketed with blue borders along the top and left sides, for the lapel front and back. The upper bouquet is larger, with rose-like flowers in delicate shades of pink, spring green foliage, and smaller blue and pink flowers. The lower bouquet is a salmon pink rose, spring green and multicolor foliage, and small dark pink and blue sprigs surrounding. To the right is the front half of the waistcoat, running almost the full length of the silk. The top, right, and bottom sides are bordered with blue lines. Large floral bouquets, like the ones on the lapels, march down the right edge of the waistcoat. At the bottom edge is a woodland hunting scene, with two brown dogs attacking a grey wild boar from both sides. Various plants and flowers in shades of light green, pale pink, and blue grow up from the bare brown ground. Behind the left dog is a yellow-brown tree with light green leaves. The tree ends in a pink-bordered rectangular pocket flap panel filled with leaves and three large butterflies, in light blue, pink, and golden yellow. The remaining body of the waistcoat front is filled with an alternating pattern of diagonal blue flowers and diagonal geometric blue sprigs, arranged in a grid.
