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
