Imperial Art Nouveau Dress, Germany, ca. 1908 // Kaiserliches Jugendstilkleid, Deutschland, ca. 1908

This Art Nouveau dress from 1908 impresses with its extraordinary elegance and attention to detail, which impressively reflects the spirit of this artistic era. Its design combines the opulent beauty of the materials with a unique playfulness that is typical of Art Nouveau.
The dress shines in a fascinating combination of gold and iron-red hues, which change depending on the play of light and lend the elegant piece a majestic aura. Made from the finest silk and delicate lace, it impresses with a harmonious combination of luxurious shine and filigree craftsmanship.

The U-shaped neckline, artfully crafted from lace and decorated with lace appliqués, lends the dress a touch of romance and lightness. The high stand-up collar made of lace also ensures a sublime and dignified appearance, as was characteristic of the fashion of the time. The playful design of the bust area underlines the attention to detail and creativity that characterize the Art Nouveau style.

Long sleeves made from a combination of silk and lace blend seamlessly into the elegant overall look. Silk appliqués accentuate the lace and create additional sophisticated highlights. The skirt, artfully pleated and with a small train, gives the dress a graceful silhouette and makes it a true work of tailoring art.

The dress is strongly reminiscent of the wardrobe of the last German Empress, Auguste Victoria of Prussia. It reflects the style and splendor that was customary in the royal circles of the time. The reference to the fashion of the court lends the dress a nostalgic as well as prestigious note.

It should be noted that the brooch shown and the photo of the empress are not included. Nevertheless, this dress can be perfectly combined with personal pieces of jewelry to further emphasize its individual elegance. In excellent condition.
