Tunisia Hammamet
Spectacular Tunisian wedding dress from the Hammamet region, dating from the mid-20th century. Straight cut, slightly puffed at the hips, open at the front. Black wool fabric densely embroidered with gold sequins and twisted cannetille, forming a jewel-like dress with architectural and floral interlacing designs over most of the dress. The short sleeves are padded and lined with orange rayon taffeta, embroidered with flat gold braid. The collar, neckline, and hem are highlighted with matching gold braid trim. The rich gold embroidery adds volume, intensifying the reflections of light. An identical dress was presented at the Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac in Paris during the exhibition entitled “Au fil de l'or, l'Art de se vêtir en Orient” (The Thread of Gold: The Art of Dressing in the East) in 2025. No defects to report. Very Good condition. Dimensions: Equivalent to size 36 France. Height 94 cm, sleeves 17 cm, shoulders 38 cm, chest 90 cm, waist 84 cm, hips 108 cm.
