Prior to retiring my mother was a wedding planner/marketer in Tokyo, Japan. On one of her visits home she brought back a traditional wedding Kimono. I was told the gold stitching is actually gold thread and that it is in fact quite valuable; I was also given a price at this time. I'm looking for a reputable appraiser for a specific valuation to ensure both parties(buyer/seller) know the actual value, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The weight of the kimono is 8.4lbs, and as you can see the patterns and design are very intricate and there is quite a bit of gold stitching.
Unfortuately the pictures I took to post are too large 3-5MB each. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in seeing high resolution pictures. My apologies for the not so good cell phone pics, I really have no other option, they do the kimono no justice either.
Any and all help and information is appreciated.
Thank You
