💗Vintage Authentic Prestige Originals Hand Beaded Mid Century Cardigan

Almost the Holy Grail of vintage cardigan dreams! Absolutely incredible authentic vintage 1950s/1960s Prestige Originals crew neck cardigan in a soft powder pink/peach hue. Fully fashioned knit handcrafted from a luxuriously soft blend of wool and angora. This stunning piece showcases an incredibly intricate and delicate scroll work design of beaded embroidery on the chest, back, sleeve hems, and button placket all in pearlescent white grain beads. Front button-up closure with pearl-style buttons and ribbed finishing on the neck and hems. The bodice is lined with an acetate lining for comfort and to protect the beading. These cardigans were popular in the mid-20th century, like many high-quality beaded sweaters from this period which were hand-decorated in places like Hong Kong and then sold in premium retailers. In excellent vintage condition - there is a small flaw, a tiny hole near the button placket as shown in photos but other than that, virtually untouched. All the beading is intact. Quite incredible for a 70+ year old gal! Rare find!🦄 There are no identifying labels for the size - likely an 8-10 or Medium based on the fit. Flat Measurements: PtoP - 18" W - 16" Across Hem - 16" Sleeve - 19" Bicep - 6" Length - 23"
