This divine 1930's bitter chocolate coloured crepe silk cape, embellished with rows of scalloped glass beadwork and swirling silk and gold lamé soutache embroidery, is a rare piece to behold.
The rounded neckline of the cape is accented by a central hook and eye fastening, concealed by a decorative brown crepe silk longline bow. The elegant cut of the cape drapes across the shoulder line and bust, and is edged with a scalloped hemline, emulating the undulating embellished details. This wonderful cape showcases the craftsmanship and embellishment design of the era.
