VTG 1950s Ranch Mink Fur Stole Wrap 14 Skin Dark Brown Hollywood Glam Provenance
Unbelievably luxurious vintage 1950s ranch mink stole/wrap comprising 14 full mink pelts with dark brown velvet worked into the folds. Features a corded snap closure and plush fur underbellies as the natural lining. Designed for evening glamour, this wrap evokes the movie star style of midcentury cocktail parties.
Condition
Mint vintage condition. Clean, soft, and supple with no flaws. Note: the color appears reddish in photos but is a very dark chocolate brown in person.
Provenance Note
This stole belonged to Sonja Loew, Czech wife of famed theater magnate E.M. Loew. Known for her generosity, outrageous outfits, and larger-than-life persona, Sonja was often seen alongside celebrities such as Zsa Zsa Gabor. This provenance places the piece firmly in the realm of Hollywood-adjacent high society glamour. Ranch mink stoles of this scale (14 skins) were among the top tier of luxury in the 1950s, representing status and opulence.
