ANTIQUE VICTORIAN BLACK MOLESKIN EVENING CAPE WITH BEADED DECORATION AND PURPLE LINING

I HAVE LIGHTENED MY PHOTOS A BIT TO SHOW THE DETAIL ON THE BLACK MOLESKIN.

THIS IS A LOVELY VICTORIAN EVENING CAPE - IT JUST GOES OVER THE SHOULDERS AND FASTENS AT THE FRONT WITH 5 HOOKS.

THE BEADWORK GOES ALL AROUND THE TOP OF THE CAPE AND AROUND THE COLLAR.  IT IS CORDWORK AND BLACK BEADS IN A LOVELY FILLIGREE DESIGN.

THE CORDWORK IS A BIT LOOSE IN PLACES.  THE CAPE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE BUT THE INSIDE PURPLE SILK  LINING IS WORN / SHREDDED AROUND THE NECK AND DOWN THE FRONT EDGE FROM AGE & WEAR. 

IT MEASURES 16 INCHES AROUND THE NECK AND 7 FT. 6 INCHES ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM EDGE.

THE DEPTH FROM TOP OF NECK TO BOTTOM EDGE IS 17 INCHES.

PLEASE STUDY MY PHOTOS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE MORE PHOTOS PLEASE EMAIL ME.
