Not really much can be added , the pictures say it all.

This is a spectacular black victorian silk cape

or mantle as they called it.

It was owned by a Mrs.J.H Adams, this piece is numbered 8413

and was made or bought Nov 29. 1892. See back side of label.

I love the scalloped edge that is follow by a 12\" deep pleated flounce.

The shoulders have an extra small pillow attached to emphasize the

gathered shoulders,and on the inside there is a faille ribbon

you can tighten to give you that hour glass waist.

Tulle around the neckline, plus large front bow finishes off

this spectacular piece.
