Victorian Beaded Mantle Overlayer, 19th Century
This elegant Victorian mantle overlayer is a striking example of 19th-century (mourning) fashion. Crafted from dark brown fabric, the antique cape is richly adorned with all-over black beadwork and delicate black lace trims, creating a textured interplay of depth and ornamentation. The center front closes discreetly with traditional hook-and-eye clasps.
Measurements
Front length: ~ 26.5" (67 cm)
Back length: ~ 13" (33 cm)
Despite its age, the piece remains in good condition, preserving the quiet dignity and craftsmanship of its time. A refined accessory once worn to convey solemnity with grace. Minimal signs of use and age.
