Item details:
A very rare, museum quality heirloom item of costume which has been carefully passed down through the generations.
Dating from the 18th century it is made from a hand blocked polished Chintz (possibly Dutch?), in a rich aubergine brown with coral and blue floral decorative elements.
The cape is circular in shape (known as a compass cloak) and still has its original handloomed wool lining. It has a stand up collar and no fastenings.
Measurements:
Length: 65cm
Collar: 7cm tall
Condition:
In good antique condition, some historic mends, water marks, signs of wear and an overall patina of age as you would expect from an item from this era. The original wool lining has wear and some holes.
