Help with age and origin Embroidered coat

Bombshelly Vintage

Registered Guest
I recently aquired this fabulous embroidered coat/duster in Arizona. It is a very thin wool and heavily hand embroidered. It feels much older than the 60's. I've been doing research on ethnic embroidered items to try to identify the pattern. Anyone have an idea on Country of origin and age? Thank you in advance!

That is beautiful. It looks a lot like Kashmiri embroidery from India. Is it a chain stitch or a plain stitch? Can you show a close up of the stitches? And is the embroidery the same on both sides (that is, reversible in its look)? Is the embroidery silk or wool?

These can be difficult to date. I had one that was 1930s, in a muted pink color wool, very thin, with black designs. Sometimes the color mix and length can be a clue, if it was for import.

I am no real help with dating, sorry!
