DATING TO THE 1880’S
NOTE THAT THIS PIECE IS SOLD AS IT WAS ACQUIRED
FASHIONED OF A MOST VIBRANT METALLIC GOLD LAME FRENCH SILK JACQUARD WITH STRIPE AND FLORAL PATTERN THROUGHOUT
THE CAPE HAS A SILK VELVET COLLAR THAT CAN BE WORN AS A HOOD WITH SILK CHIFFON LINING AROUND THE NECKLINE
A CURLY FUR TRIM ENCIRCLES THE HOOD AND TRAVELS DOWN EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT
INTERIOR IS THICKLY BATTED
CONDITION: NOTE THE CONDITION OF THIS PIECE, SOLD AS IT WAS ACQUIRED. THE WEIGHT IS EXTREMELY HEAVY DUE TO THE INTERIOR BATTING
ALL OF THE SEAM STITCHING WAS DONE IN SILK AND ALL OF THE SILK STITCHING IS POPPING. ALL OF THE SEAMS WILL NEED TO BE RESTITCHED THROUGHOUT
DUE TO THE WEIGHT, THE SILK CHIFFON TRIMMING THE NECKLINE HAS BREAKAGE THROUGHOUT
THE FUR THAT TRIMS IS INTACT BUT NOTE THAT I BELIEVE THAT THE FUR TRIMMED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BOTTOM EDGE AND IS NOW ABSENT
THE INTERIOR WAS ORIGINALLY LINED IN A SILK SATIN AND THE SILK SATIN HAS BEEN FULLY REMOVED
WELL WORTH BIDDING FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL FABRIC ALONE. SO HARD TO FIND GOLD LAME FABRIC OF THIS PERIOD THAT IS FULLY STRONG AND USEABLE
MEASUREMENTS IN INCHES:
CENTER FRONT LENGTH NECKLINE TO BOTTOM EDGE: 48
CENTER REAR LENGTH NECKLINE TO BOTTOM: 56
BOTTOM SWEEP: 154
