new-vogue-ravyn:thegentlemanscloset:Suit & waistcoat circa late 1770s/1780s. French. Court dress. Silk, silver thread, burgundy. Part of the exhibition ‘Déboutonner la mode’ (Unbutton fashion) at Paris’ decorative arts’ museum. The large silver buttons are entirely decorative.This would be among the very blingiest of suits, even for late 18th century France.@vinceaddams you’ve probably seen this but I thought of you.I’ve probably seen an image of this suit somewhere before, but I don’t remember this particular picture. It’s got such dramatic lighting! -- source link
