MARSHALL FIELD & Co. Antique Chemise, 1920s – Yellow Silk & Lace Lingerie Dress

This rare Antique Marshall Field & Company lingerie‑section chemise, made of soft yellow silk with ecru lace and a white silk rosette appliqué, represents an exceptional example of early 20th‑century lingerie and the refined craftsmanship associated with Marshall Field & Company. The delicate construction, luxurious materials, and elegant color palette reflect the sophisticated aesthetic of high‑end American and Parisian lingerie design of the period. The set includes two original Marshall Field’s advertisement pink silk puff pads, produced for the Paris and Chicago branches, adding significant historical and collector value. In never‑worn condition, the chemise shows only a few small stains, consistent with long‑term storage rather than use. As a piece sourced from the prestigious lingerie department of one of America’s most influential luxury retailers, it stands as a remarkable artifact of Edwardian and 1920s intimate apparel, offering insight into the cultural, commercial, and aesthetic practices of early modern fashion history.
