Art Deco/Art Nouveau Japanese hand-embroidered silk kimono

I adore antique garments. They are things made in a world that no longer exists and to own pieces that were so personal to the people of that time is very special to me. Tonight I was lucky enough to come across this vintage 1920's/30's hand embroidered kimono from England. The colour is incredible and is reminiscent of the colours of the paintings in my last exhibition.
