VTG Antique Late 1800s *AS IS* Black Bell Sleeve Blouse / Jacket W/ Cream Lace Trim
Good used antique condition, w/ flaws. This is being sold as an AS IS top / blouse or thin jacket from the late 1800s that is black w/ cream lace trim around the collar, front opening & sleeve cuffs. It has multiple spots of dry rot & tears throughout, so is probably not fit for wearing. Unsure what the fabric is made out of, but it seems like it's possibly raw silk or a silk blend since the black fabric has a slight sheen to it. There is very light blue lining on the inside. There are many stains throughout the lining all over, including around the inner collar & the lining at sleeve cuffs. Mostly all of the eye hooks are missing & there are tears along the inner armpits on lining. There are other tears & areas of shattering all over from dry rot, including at the center back top of collar, both the back sides of sleeves, especially the back right sleeve. Possibly other small holes, tears, or spots that were missed. Please look through photos to get a good idea of overall condition.
