Vintage Antique handmade cropped bolero vest top

Eclectic, ornate and opulent vintage antique handmade embroidered lace cropped bolero vest top with pompon trim, beading and five small hidden metal snaps up the front. Unlined. Semi sheer. This one of a kind treasure came from an old trunk that belonged to a traveling performer or actress, and then decades in my mom’s treasure trove of a dressing room. Difficult to date, but estimating it dates from the teens or 1920s. Best suited for a modern size small - see photos for measurements and feel free to ask questions. Base of garment is black mesh lace, embroidered with what looks like wool yarn and embroidery thread in a brilliant array of colors- gold, peacock blue, bordeaux, burnt orange and rose pink (among others). Arm holes and hem are edged in dark navy pompon trim. Condition is great considering the age of the garment- some pulled yarn on the back, and wear/hole near the bottom front near bottom snap - see photos. Couture, mysterious, exotic burlesque vibes. Bohemian, eclectic and extraordinary- if this unique piece could talk, I can’t even imagine the stories it would tell.
