Antique Silk Ottoman-Style Bolero Jacket with Gold Lurex Stripes

A rare antique silk bolero jacket, likely inspired by or originating from Ottoman / Anatolian traditional dress, possibly an entari-style ceremonial garment.

This cropped jacket features vivid vertical striping in gold, orange, purple, and green, accented with floral motifs and shimmering gold lurex threads. The craftsmanship suggests hand tailoring, with visible alterations at the bodice indicating it was adjusted over time — a common hallmark of heirloom garments meant to last generations.

Buttons run down the front, and while one button is missing and there are minor pulled threads, the piece remains in remarkably good condition considering its age. The structure, textile quality, and detailing make this a true collector’s piece, wearable as art or ideal for archival styling.

✨ A statement garment with deep cultural character and undeniable presence.
