Wine coloured lipsticks in the 1920s

[Mojito]

Hoping someone more knowledgeable about makeup history can help me with this....most of the extant lipstick shades from the 1920s I've seen or have samples of are in the pink through to deep red spectrum. I have a wine coloured vintage dress with silver beading that I need to accessorise - it's in the burgundy/maroon range. Does anyone have any examples of authentic shades that would go well with this?

Thanks, Red! It is very helpful to have that colour palette - I can work within the range you've identified. Cheers!
