Hi! My name is Jessica, I was sent here by an Etsy seller that I thought may be able to help me learn a little more about a gorgeous piece I just purchased for a whopping $16 at a non-vintage resale chain store. The tag reads "Marshall & Snelgrove" I have read up on the label but I can't seem to find what era it may be from, very hard to track down any clothing from this label! Any information would be greatly appreciated! It's a beautiful velvet piece with a small tear in the right sleeve, and is missing a couple buttons I'm sure in the front. Also a wrap around piece at the waist. I was pretty excited about this find! But I cannot find anything about this particular piece online anywhere!
It looks like a lovely old dressing gown, you've stated that it is velvet but it looks more like a silk brocade in the photographs. The writing on the label looks older than that in our own label resource, it would be good to add this one to our label resource. It appears it could be Edwardian or from the teens. Let's see what others think. It was a great find!
