THIS AUTHENTIC PIECE OF MID NINETEENTH CENTURY VICTORIAN HISTORY IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS! AT FIRST GLANCE IT SEEMS TO BE MADE OF A PAISLEY FABRIC, BUT GET CLOSER AND SEE THAT IT IS WOVEN WITH AN ALLOVER DESIGN OF MYTHICAL BEASTS LIKE WINGED GRIFFINS. THE ONLY THING THAT PREVENTS ME FROM KEEPING IT IS THAT IT IS TOO SMALL FOR ME. IN FACT IS IS FOR A VERY PETITE LADY OR TEEN WITH NARROW SHOULDERS. CONDITION IS OUTSTANDING FOR SUCH A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE. THERE IS ONE VERY SMALL HOLE IN THE SHOULDER, WHICH COULD EASILY BE REPAIRED AND WOULD NEVER SHOW IN SUCH A MULTICOLORED FABRIC AND BUSY DESIGN. WHAT A DISPLAY PIECE THIS COULD BE! A SHOW STOPPER FOR SURE. THE GRACEFUL LINES OF THIS STYLE WOULD FLOAT OVER ONE'S DRESS. THIS MANTLE IS TRIMMED IN A DARK BROWN VELVET LOOPED FRINGE. THE LINING IS A COCOA BROWN COTTON--ALL EXCELLENT. JUST TOO, TOO WONDERFUL! A RARE FIND FOR THE VINTAGE COLLECTOR. IF THIS WOULD FIT YOU, GRAB IT!
