This is an exquisite 1950s Dalton cashmere cardigan in a beautiful smoky sage green shade, somewhere between muted green and soft grey.
Crafted from 100% pure imported cashmere, this exceptional piece features an elaborate display of iridescent sequins, delicate glass beads and intricate floral beadwork around the neckline. Thousands of shimmering sequins cascade across the shoulders and bodice, gradually becoming more scattered towards the waist, creating a beautiful, almost celestial effect.
Finished with a richly embellished front opening, cuffs and waistband, a softly gathered silhouette and discreet hook-and-eye closures.
A truly special example of 1950s evening knitwear, combining luxurious cashmere with extraordinary decorative detail.
