Buyer's premium:

A collection of diverse items, comprising gentlemen’s formalwear, two framed artworks, and a textile sampler. The formalwear includes a vintage black tailcoat with notched lapels, bearing an internal label for “Billings, Edmonds & Co.” (likely London), alongside a modern black single-breasted dinner jacket with satin peaked lapels, presented on an “H&M” branded hanger. Also included are two pairs of black trousers, one featuring a visible satin side stripe. The garments are likely constructed from wool or a wool blend. Accompanying these are two ornate, gold-toned framed artworks, likely paintings or prints, depicting landscapes in varying styles, consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century design. Completing the collection is a frayed embroidered textile sampler with floral motifs, displaying the French text “ESTHER E 18 JUIN 1890” and “JUILLET 1901”.
