Kerry Taylor Auctions

Lot 384

A brocaded satin robe à la polonaise, the silk probably Jean Revel, circa 1735, with fitted English back, lined in linen, pleated front robing panels to the front bodice closure, with silk wrapped polonaise buttons to the sides and inner tapes; with matching petticoat and a fragment of matching silk (3)Provenance: Caroline Littlewood CONDITION REPORT: The sleeves and cuffs have been altered as has the front of the bodice. The back of the gown - the construction looks original. I think the front skirt panels would have been wider and possibly the fabric was used to remake the sleeves and cuffs. The silk wrapped buttons may be 18th century additions as the dress in the 1730s would not have been polonaised. The colours of the silk are good, but there are splits to the bodice front closure at the lower edges in particular. The hem edge has been relined in buff silk. There are several small splits to each underarm area. The petticoat has the original pocket slits but the waistline has been altered. The remains of the original silk hem lining is extant but has been partially re-covered in ochre wool. The silk has numerous splits and the back panel is formed from patches. Fraying/soiling along hem edge.

Kerry Taylor Auctions

Lot 385

Two printed gowns, the first late 1820s-early 1830s of striped cotton/muslin with delicate grasses and blooms with ruched and pleated bodice and tiered flounced hem; the other of printed wool with mauve degrade stripes and green blossom, 1840s; together with a roller printed cotton coiffure smock or bed jacket 1860s (3)Provenance: Caroline Littlewood CONDITION REPORT: First dress - Colours are good, rubbing and wear to front waist band. 2.5cm hole in front right of skirt. Second dress - bodice has been let out and the lining has sections let in over the chest to enlarge - but these look like 19th century alterations. The dress does not have the highly fashionable V-shaped waist of the 1840s suggesting the woman preferred the 1830s waist shape or that it was altered in the 1860s. Slight wear and perspiration staining at underarms, gathers at front waist have come undone. Smock is good condition
