Gold-embroidered silk velvet and satin court ensemble
Russian, late 19th century
The sartorial hierarchy for ladies at the Russian court reached especially strict and stringent heights in the last decades of the nineteenth century, when color and length of train were dictated by rank and proximity to the Empress(es). One of the finest court dresses to have come on the market, this rare, complete imperial court ensemble of blue silk velvet must have, in accordance with its hue, been worn by a Grand Duchess. The ensemble is elaborately embroidered in gold metallic thread, consisting of a boned bodice with pointed waist and long, open hanging sleeves; blue velvet skirt continuing into a nine-foot train; and a plastron and underskirt of white silk satin embroidered in gold metallic thread.
A related court dress worn by the Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna is in the Tsarskoye Selo State Museum-Preserve.
