Nomadic Reign
ST. ELMO'S FIRE
This bespoke coat is an exquisite piece crafted from a rare pre-1920s Chase carriage lap robe, expertly made in the US. The luxurious fabric combines wool, mohair, and horsehair, creating a unique texture that exudes both warmth and elegance.
The coat's design is a striking presentation of vivid multicolored abstract patterns, each influenced by seasonal themes that invite the eye to explore its rich visual narrative. Spacious, lined pockets are artfully integrated into either side of the coat, offering practicality without sacrificing style. Adorning the front panels, large snowflakes are sprinkled throughout, evoking a wintry wonderland, while the midsection showcases intricate Fall branches and leaves that gracefully entwine with purple moons, creating a dreamy, ethereal effect.
A fiery burst of color along the outer edges teases the senses and enhances the coat’s dynamic aesthetic. Playful small snowflake pockets add a whimsical touch, perfect for carrying small treasures. The cuffs, collar, and bottom trim are adorned with segments of vibrant Tibetan lamb's wool, bringing a luxurious softness and a rich depth of color.
The interior lining is equally impressive, featuring sumptuous velvet adorned with geometric designs, which adds an element of sophistication. A triple tassel rope trim elegantly accents the lining, enhancing the coat’s overall refinement.
Finally, a stunning antique Edwardian Czech multicolored filigree clasp completes this treasure, combining historical elegance with a contemporary touch. The clasp's intricate detailing captures the light beautifully, drawing attention to this remarkable garment, making it not just a coat, but a wearable work of art that tells a story of craftsmanship and style through the ages.
