Nomadic Reign
TARTAN OF TERABITHIA
Step into a realm of elegance and heritage with this stunning and unique coat, meticulously crafted from an antique buggy sleigh blanket or carriage blanket. Originating from the Chase Company between 1890 and 1920, this exquisite piece showcases the artistry of mohair and fine wools. The coat features a striking Scottish tartan in a vivid checkered design of rich reds, greens, creams, and blacks, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a family of Scottish descent.
The vibrant midsection is adorned with royal purples and enchanting floral motifs, bringing the coat to life with charming bouquets of red Gerber daisies. The sleeves are crafted from solid wool or mohair, ensuring both warmth and sophistication, while each cuff is elegantly finished with hand-stitched crushed royal purple velvet. The cuffs are accentuated with long, luxurious castle crimp passementerie in shades of lavender, copper, teal, and cream, adding an air of refined elegance.
The coat’s front features a field-turned-back lapel in crushed royal purple velvet, flanked by vintage Czech glass buttons that display delicate floral petal designs in relief. Enhancing the Scottish theme, a stunning grouping of dyed pheasant feathers cascades down the lapels. Tiny pockets discreetly sewn on each side provide a practical touch, while extra panels of crushed royal purple velvet beneath the underarm seams ensure effortless mobility.
Intriguing details include a tiny metal gun and a vintage castle pin, along with an antique U.S. Army 194th Armored Brigade insignia patch, adding layers of history and character. The back of the coat continues the garden-inspired theme, showcasing bouquets of daisies intertwined with delicate lattice vines. Inspired by Celtic legend, the daisies symbolize hidden love and protection, recalling the tale of a young woman transformed by a fairy to shield her from unwanted attention.
At the top of the coat, a yoke-style back in crushed royal purple velvet features exquisite tassel and trim detailing in deep purples, blacks, and grays. The inner lining reveals a captivating pinwheel pattern in a gorgeous moss green fabric, trimmed at the bottom with luxurious twin tassel fringe that flows elegantly. This intricate fringe is attached to a fancy braided header adorned with ornate braided loops, enhancing the coat’s luxurious allure.
The tassels are corded in sumptuous shades of copper, purple, peach, and cream, creating a rich texture that elevates the coat’s opulence. The hem lining, again in crushed royal purple velvet, provides a striking finish, while the cuff trim echoes the vibrant palette found throughout the coat in purples, teals, blues, greens, and coppers.
