NEW YORK'S OWN- BOSTON'S BARTHOLOMEW
Introducing a bespoke and charming coat, meticulously crafted from an antique buggy blanket, lap robe, or sleigh blanket by the esteemed Chase company of New York City, dating back to between 1890 and 1920. This exquisite coat celebrates the memory of a cherished Boston Terrier, affectionately named Bartholomew. With his tawny honey-colored fur and soulful eyes, Bartholomew captures the essence of a beloved childhood pet, a loyal companion, and a revered member of the family. His likeness is vividly depicted against a background of teals and blacks, framed by a tiny vintage green velvet ribbon and adorned with a 1970s New York State dog tag, enhancing the coat's sentimental value.
The coat itself is a marvel of luxury, crafted from a blend of mohair, horsehair, and various wools, featuring bright red floral prints that add a vibrant touch to the design. The sleeves are elegantly black, with cuffs that mirror the dog print pattern found on the collar and yoke. The front of the coat showcases intricate gold, black, and cream border designs, complemented by deep red floral leaf prints along the outer edges.
Inside, the coat reveals a sophisticated gray baroque damask lining with a rosebud braid and black gimp trim, while the lower inner lining features luxurious black faux fur for added texture. Vintage metal buttons adorn each lapel, and the coat is fastened with a Celtic-style gold engraved medal, reflecting the Victorians' deep appreciation for symbolism and meaning. The Boston Fern, represented in this coat, symbolizes authenticity and the value of genuine relationships, echoing Bartholomew's faithful presence. This coat is a tribute to timeless elegance and heartfelt memories, crafted for those who treasure both beauty and sentiment.
