Victorian Black Fitted Jacket

Unavailable
Exceptional Victorian black satin or silk fitted jacket boasts 21 extraordinary black varnished papier mache buttons inlaid with pieces of iridescent abalone in a floral design. The buttons alone are worth more than the price we have on this gorgeous jacket and can be seen in Plate 252 of Elizabeth Hughes' "Big Book of Buttons." Fifteen of these buttons line the front of the jacket with another pair decorating the pleated cuffs and four more on the stylish back bustle. There are a few rips on the shoulder and back of the jacket as expected in a piece this old, but this is still an outstanding find for the collector of vintage clothing. Bust= 34", Waist= 32", Sleeve Length= 21", Shoulder to Hem= 26.5"
