ROYAL FLUSH

 Step into a realm of timeless luxury with this one-of-a-kind bespoke coat, meticulously crafted from an antique buggy or sleigh lap blanket by the esteemed Chase Company, renowned for its exquisite textile artistry in New York from 1890 to 1920. This remarkable piece captures the essence of equestrian beauty, showcasing a stunning print of horseshoes that gracefully encircle a magnificent, bridled stallion, whose flowing mane suggests both grace and power. The deep plum backdrop serves as a striking canvas for the intricate leafy magnolia garland that frames the scene, accentuated by vibrant greens, creams, and teals, creating a harmonious blend of color and texture.

 Symbolism plays a vital role in this coat’s design. The horseshoe, positioned upright, signifies good fortune for the wearer, while its rich historical context nods to Victorian beliefs where horseshoes represented luck and protection. The large magnolias, placed artfully beneath and above the horseshoe, deepen the narrative of this coat, reflecting themes of luck, perseverance, and nobility—ideal for a beloved steed. The tartan-inspired bottom edges exude sophistication, featuring a checkered background of teals, blacks, and reds that draws the eye and adds dimension.

 The sleeves, crafted from luxurious black wool, are adorned with beaded cranberry clusters that glimmer subtly with movement, while a sumptuous berry-hued French trim enhances the cuffs, creating an elegant finish. For added warmth and texture, the collar and side panels boast soft lamb's wool, echoing the traditional tartans of Scottish heritage. The midriff continues the floral motif with intricate magnolia leaves, seamlessly integrating nature into the design.

 Inside, the coat reveals a lavish faux leather lining that exudes richness, edged with delicately scalloped wooden beads for a handcrafted touch. The lower inner lining, fashioned from sumptuous red suede, is meticulously hand-stitched in a couture fashion, showcasing the artisanal skill that defines this coat. A gold crimp ribbon accentuates the inner edges, further enhancing the luxurious feel.

 More than merely a coat, this piece is a wearable work of art that celebrates the enduring bond between horse and rider, ready to make an unforgettable impression on any occasion. Embrace elegance and sophistication with a garment that tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and equestrian grace.
