About the Item

A rare and exceptional 1970s reversible embroidered sherwani coat, handmade in India and featuring two completely different looks in one garment. One side is crafted in a luminous green chartreuse silk satin with delicately spaced floral embroidery, while the reverse side showcases an opulent beige silk-velvet base with fully hand-worked gold leaf embroidery cascading down the placket, collar, cuffs, and neckline. This is an artisan piece made with couture-level craftsmanship, offering two distinct aesthetics in a single, collectible coat. The silhouette is elegant, refined, and versatile — wear the silk side for a bright, statement moment, or reverse it to the velvet side for a richly textured, formal, evening-appropriate look. The Mandarin collar, fabric-covered buttons, and traditional hand-knotted loop closures highlight the meticulous hand-tailoring typical of high-end Indian ateliers from this era. This coat is in excellent vintage condition. A true wearable artwork and an exceptional, museum-level textile example. ⸻ Approximately Size Medium / Large ⭐ Size Measurements • Bust: 42 inches • Waist: 38.5 inches • Hips: 42 inches • Length (top back shoulder seam to hem): 38.2 inches ⭐ Ways to Wear • As a silk embroidered day coat • As a velvet gold-embroidered evening coat • Styled open over trousers or a slip dress • Reversed for two completely different formal looks • A standout statement piece for events, dinners, or gallery nights ⸻ reversible vintage coat, silk velvet embroidered coat, sherwani jacket, Indian embroidered coat, 1970s gold embroidery, artisan vintage jacket, formal embroidered coat, couture-level embroidery, vintage Asian textile coat, collectible embroidered jacket
