Vintage 1950s black silk skirt with intricate hand embroidery in a chinoiserie-inspired floral and pagoda garden motif. A beautifully constructed piece with paneled shaping and raised decorative seam detailing that adds dimension and texture throughout.

The embroidery is dense and vibrant, featuring satin stitch florals in pink, lavender, and green with a central pagoda landscape scene. The black silk ground provides strong contrast, making the design especially striking.This skirt has a classic mid-century silhouette with a fitted waist and gently flared shape.

Vintage condition with noted age-related wear. There is silk shattering at the waistband and along some stress areas, consistent with vintage silk of this era. The skirt presents beautifully but is structurally delicate and best suited for occasional wear, display, or a vintage textile collector. Decorative seams show some loose/frayed threads (cosmetic only).
