Nomadic Reign
WARRING SANDS
This exquisite and exotic vintage tapestry coat is a breathtaking creation, crafted from a luxurious European tapestry that weaves a vivid and dramatic narrative. Imagine the scorching deserts of Morocco, where an ancient battle unfolds between nomadic tribal warriors. The front panel of the coat captures this story, featuring a valiant colonel leading his grand Palomino stallion, sword in hand, ready to face his enemies. The expansive blue sky across the chest adds a burst of vivid color, enhancing the dynamic intensity of the scene.
Beside the colonel, his loyal lieutenant stands on another magnificent stallion, both decorated in elaborate cultural regalia. Flowing scarves and determined expressions reflect their readiness for battle, embodying the essence of bravery and honor. The sands at the base of the coat appear to explode upward, while the flowing sleeves mirror this design, wrapping the wearer in the scene's movement and drama. In the background, a distant village emerges, where the women and townspeople watch in awe.
Adding to the coat’s allure is a golden metal beaded tassel trim at the hem, which jingles hypnotically with movement, creating a captivating auditory experience. This tassel trim also adorns the cuffs of the sleeves, bringing harmony to the design. The tapestry collar, which continues the fabric’s pattern, can be flipped up to elevate the coat's elegance.
The back of the coat extends the narrative, with rearing horses galloping through sand and dry brush, each horse adorned with intricate Middle Eastern regalia. The raised swords of the men signal their fate, as they charge toward the future, and the epic tale continues to unfold.
Inside, the coat is lined with a shimmering red organza, embellished with vertical silver lines that reflect light beautifully. The unique diamond-shaped motifs echo the tapestry pattern, adding subtle cohesion to the inner design. Red eyelash tassel trim surrounds each opening, providing extra flair, while a distinctive gold medal-style coin tassel trim adorns the hem, adding a jingle of character with every step. The lower lining, made of sumptuous red velvet, completes this extraordinary piece of wearable art with an opulent finish.
