Step into the center stage with this exceptional Antique French Clown / Pierrot Costume (circa 1900). A theatrical gem, this handmade outfit carries both visible charm and historical presence—perfect for collectors, display, or very careful wear.

✨ Features & Design

• Rich deep green velvet outer layer, over a thicker insulation fabric to help keep the performer warm—ideal for outdoor, stage, or winter theater settings.

• Ornate embellishments: hand-applied velvet flowers and bows made from antique sequins on both sides; satin ruffles edged with sequins across the upper arms.

• Beautiful detailing: strips of lace at the ends of sleeves and legs; one side features green pompoms, a hidden closure, rows of mini beads, thick sequins; the flip side boasts an elegant curved panel above the chest in gold bullion thread.

• Practical and playful touches: includes pockets on each side—a clown’s secret store for small props or essentials.

📐 Condition & Size

• Condition: Good for its age. Some small repairs and natural signs of wear, but no major damage. The repairs are discreet and unobtrusive.

• Wearability: Yes—this can still be worn with care. Also excellent for display (on a hanger or mannequin) to show off its dramatic shape and balloon silhouette (shown here stuffed with paper for better visual form).
