Stunning example of an antique Victorian ca. 1880s silk faille French jet beaded capelet

Very dainty in its shortness compared to the other longer mantles, this one perched on the shoulders and accentuates the shape via the pointed hem and the fringe

High collar at closes via hook and eyes

Lining is surprisingly in good condition as I find mang of these tend to be shredding

The beads are also quite sturdy with just a few minuscule areas where the beads have been lost. Light west to the silk near the closures

Presents beautifully and is very sturdy for display or CAREFUL wear

12.5” long shoulder to lowest point NOT including fringe

14” around the neck when closed
