Black

An extraordinary early vintage smoking jacket, most likely Korean and dating to approximately the 1930s, with spectacular hand embroidery.

Beautifully tailored in black wool with a dramatic teal silk-satin shawl collar, blue cuffs and pocket accents, multicolor braided trim and elaborate knotted frog closures.

And then there is the embroidery.

Long, sinuous dragons wind down both sleeves, while the back is dominated by an incredible multicolor peacock, its tail spreading across almost the entire jacket. Smaller embroidered scenes include a traditional sailing boat and a tiny figure with a rickshaw.

Beneath the breast pocket is a red architectural/gate motif embroidered “MJG,” believed to be the original owner’s monogram — suggesting the jacket may have been commissioned or personalized.

The embroidery appears hand worked, predominantly in satin stitch. Fully lined in deep navy jacquard.

There is no surviving maker’s label, so its exact history is lost. However, its tailoring, embroidery and construction closely resemble documented Korean embroidered smoking jackets from circa 1930 made for Western wearers.

Part smoking jacket, part tailoring, and very much wearable art.

MEASUREMENTS, taken flat:
Shoulders: 15–15.5"
Pit to pit: 16"
Bust: approx. 32"
Length: 27–28"
Lower jacket: 18" flat / 36" around

Petite by modern standards; approx. XS–S/smaller M depending on desired fit. Please use measurements.

CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition, especially considering its age. No large or immediately noticeable flaws. Minor age-appropriate wear to fabric, embroidery and trim. Embroidery remains remarkably colorful and the jacket presents beautifully. Please review photos closely.
