1774 Elsa Sofia Gyllenstjerna - Waist Coat Panel

18th-Century Floral Waistcoat Panel – Historic Swedish Design on Black Ground (1730–1749)

Product Description

This striking floral design is inspired by an 18th-century Swedish printed pattern, characterised by large-scale blossoms, curling leaves, and elegant trailing stems. Set against a deep black ground, the warm red florals and cool blue accents create a dramatic yet refined contrast typical of high-quality European cotton prints from the mid-1700s.

The composition is bold, rhythmic, and highly decorative, making it especially well suited for waistcoats and jackets where the pattern can be appreciated at full scale. The flowers measure approximately 8 cm, closely reflecting historical proportions used in men’s fashionable dress during the 1770s.

This design works beautifully for:

• 18th-century men’s waistcoats and jackets
• Historic costumes and living history garments
• Statement pieces where authenticity and visual impact matter
