Belle Époque ladies’ cape in fine black Cluny-style lace

  
Elegant ladies’ cape dating from the Belle Époque, made of fine black Cluny-style lace (high-quality Leavers manufacture), composed of several strips assembled on a black tulle ground. The design features a stand-up collar finished with a delicate lace ruffle, a black velvet facing, and a front closure with three covered buttons. The lower edge is highlighted by a beautiful scalloped border with leaf and arabesque motifs, characteristic of 1900s fashion. Very lovely drape, light and sheer lace. Height: 43 cm Very good antique condition, with a few light signs of wear and discreet wear at the collar, not affecting its appearance. A refined piece, ideal for a vintage clothing collection, historical reenactment, or dressing a Belle Époque mannequin.
