Seraphine Embroidered Silk draws its inspiration from a luxurious robe à la française in The Met’s Costume Institute. The exemplary 18th-century British garment, crafted from hand-painted silk, with a dramatic silhouette that tapers at the waist and billows at the hips, epitomizes the insatiable baroque opulence of its era. Seraphine, in turn, captures the essence of these qualities, with its exquisite floral embroidery adorning a foundation of 100% pure silk. A true showstopper, Seraphine is the embodiment of timeless elegance, poised to stand as the centerpiece of any space.
This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.
