This Victorian-era cape, dating to the 1890s, exemplifies the opulence and refined craftsmanship characteristic of the period. Constructed black silk velvet and lined with black silk, it features intricate beadwork and elaborate embellishments, even beneath the collar, allowing the cape to be worn with the collar up or down.
This cape is suitable for multiple sizes. The model is a small and wears it unpinned.
This piece is in great condition for its age and is fully wearable, although please note that this is an antique item and has some patina, including thinning of the velvet around the collar. This, however, only adds charm to this rare collectible cape.
