Victorian Dolman or Mantle, ca. 1882. Black cut velvet base covered with jet black beads creating an exquisite pattern. Large jet black bead medallions adorn the cuffs, and drip down the front of this piece. Beaded fringe hang off the cuffs and collar. Fully lined in ruby red silk satin! Excellent condition with just some beads missing which you'll never find... and one small wear in one shoulder, one small tear at stress point on back "sleeves" - hardly noticeable! One missing jet application on the left side. Even the lining! Wearable size for today's size small woman - the backs of these are usually too narrow for humans today. But this is an exception. The decoration is not included.
