Description
Have you ever seen such an outrageous coat?! This purple - dyed Persian lamb coat is full length, with a mandarin collar, and long sleeves. The coat is ornamented with gold and pistachio green passementerie, coils of red, orange, and green sequins, and large blue, red, and green rhinestones.
We refer to it as the "Prince" coat.
Lined in kelly green.
Although the label says "Georges Kaplan" it was designed by his son, Jacques Kaplan, who worked at his fathers firm and whose designs were a bit more outrageous and surreal! He was friendly with the leading artists of the day and collaborated often with them on his work. Jacques pieces are rarely seen at market and highly coveted, Both Kaplans have numerous creations in the MET collection.

1940s Agnes - Drecoll Beaded Pompom Princess Coat - Rare
Sold Out
Absolutely gorgeous! This black wool coat by Agnes - Drecoll hits just below the knee and has a fit and flare silhouette, giving the tea length dress a very feminine outline. The coat has a shawl - like collar, is double breasted and features buttons made of ribbons folded in the shape of roses. The pockets of the coat are accented by petal - shaped bead designs with added black pompoms. Gorgeous, feminine, and classic - we think it has a very Grace Kelly feel.
Agnes - Drecoll was a brand merger between Drecoll and Agnes in 1937. Drecoll was an existing Austrian couture house founded in 1904 that later merged with the Beers couture atelier in 1928. Agnes was created in 1898 by Mme Havet, a French Couturier who had worked under the tutelage of Jacques Doucet, designer and art collector. Agnes' successes include popularizing the turban after World War II, and having Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and Alexandra Feodorovna, the last empress of Russia, as clients.
