A late-19th-century style full-length peach silk-chiffon robe as seen worn by Ingrid Bergman as "Clio Dulaine" in the period drama Saratoga Trunk (Warner Brother, 1945). A full-length apricot chiffon robe backed with rayon. The boned bodice has a deep v-neckline and is cut just below the bust, the hook-and-eyes run from the under-bust to the hips with a velvet sash at the exterior, and the ivory chiffon yoke goes from one side of the robe around the shoulders and back down to the closure. Ruffled lace accents are at the neck, the bodice, and the sleeves. The robe is completed with a green silk velvet sash as well as velvet accents on both sleeves. A Warner Bros. Pictures Inc. label is present at the front hook-and-eyes closure with a scribed serial number, "A17940-602," no size marked. The robe comes with a muslin slip not from the production, used for display purposes. Saratoga Trunk was based on the novel by Edna Ferber with revenge driving the plot; Ingrid Bergman's character Clio Dulaine seeks revenge against the family who ostracized her mother from New Orleans for having a baby out of wedlock. Leah Rhodes designed Ingrid Bergman's gowns for the film. She apprenticed with legendary costume designer Orry-Kelly and won an Academy Award in 1950 for Adventures of Don Juan.PROVENANACE Lot 195 Auction 1854, Christie's May 30, 2007

The carcass appears to be made of pine and appears to have always been lacquered. Evidence of historic strengthening and repair to case. The case split where the trunk meets the base. The door lock later. We have no knowledge of the clock's history prior to consignment, so are unable to offer definitive comment as to whether or not the movement and case started life together. Evidence of repair and restoration to the face and movement, with the seatboard appearing later with modern screw fixing. A split to the bottom right-hand corner of the brass face. General wear to face and dial.
