Antique Edwardian 1900s Beaded & Sequined Black Silk Blouse, XS–S

Antique Edwardian blouse dating to the early 1900s, crafted in black silk and richly accented with a black beaded and sequined floral design on fine net. The surface decoration features glass beadwork and gelatin sequins, creating subtle texture and light play while maintaining a refined, gothic elegance typical of Edwardian evening blouses.

The blouse is styled with a high split-collar neckline and faceted black button accents down the front, which cleverly conceal hook and eye closures beneath. Long sleeves are detailed with tuck pleating through the upper arm and embellished hems, finished with softly gathered ivory net edging for contrast. A nipped waistline and pleated hem complete the silhouette.
