1950s Bethlehem Taqsirah Jacket with Silk Floss and Silk Moiré Lining
A 1950s taqsirah from Bethlehem, traditionally worn over embroidered thobes for festive occasions. Made from very high-quality black velvet, soft, lush, and rich to the touch, and fully lined in black silk moiré, known for its rippling, water-like sheen.
This piece is adorned with silk floss detailing and dense Tahriri embroidery, the signature Bethlehem couching stitch executed in metallic wire thread. The intricate handwork and shimmering materials create a striking contrast against the deep velvet base.

Armpit to armpit: 16”
Shoulder to hem: 16”
Fit:
Best fits a modern XS–S (US 0–2) or a slim 4 for a close fit. Velvet has no stretch.
