1880s Victorian Beaded Fringe Blue Velvet Mantle Jacket Dolman Cape Coat, Antique Embellished Jacket, Superb
Outstanding antique 1880's deep blue velvet mantle jacket cape coat lavishly decorated with an embroidered leaf design trimmed with black glass beads, blue silk soutache cording and a magnificent sapphire fringed hem with an iridescent beaded silk ball trim balance and an interwoven, ornamental silk-covered wooden bauble tassel design. The dramatic long, front tails continue to enthrall with art nouveau styled swirling silk soutache appliqués! I love how it appears to be a cape in the back, but it actually has cuffed dolman sleeves. The details abound - please enlarge photos as my words do not do this jacket justice! She's fully lined in blue silk with a thin layer of cotton batting in-between the silk and the velvet. An inner blue silk waistband is partially attached at inner back - there are no hook and eyes so you can either tie it closed or add a hook and eye closure.
Truly a superb piece of historical textile art that can definitely be worn, displayed, coveted or all three!
