Beautiful, antique, vintage beaded Hungarian vest that I bought in Budapest in 1990 from some old woman at a market. I do not know more about the cultural provenance or background about this piece, other than it is beautifully handmade and intricately hand-beaded. I am not Hungarian, so someone from that ethnicity may know more about this type of garment.
Guaranteed to be a genuine piece of cultural textile clothing. I have never worn it, rather, it has been stored in a cedar trunk all these years. It is in excellent condition for its age. And when I bought it it was already a vintage piece. Thus, I guess that it was made at least 50 years ago.
You could wear it as a cultural costume, or you could hang or frame or display it as a piece of textile art.
It is velvet padded with cotton and quite heavy. There are 3 button on the side and 1 button on the left shoulder.
Measurements are: 20" long x 36" wide (width of the 2 panels together).
Price: CAD$178 plus shipping
I'll mail it to you from Richmond, BC.

Will trade for a vintage Inuit coat or can lower price to $115 + shipping (I need to clear out my trunks). Any takers?
