Vintage Deco Silk Velvet Brocade Lame Cape Magnificent! This vintage 1920's Flapper Evening cape is one of a kind. I've never seen anything like it and don't expect to see one again. I feel priviledged just to have owned it. Sold at the T.A.Chapman store in Milwaukee, Wis., this beauty must have graced the opera house and wowed the audience.
The art deco design in red, gold, black, and orange flows 26 inches from the cape's neckline. The cape measures 50 inches from the neckline to the hem. A fabulous 14 1/2 inch wide collar is lined in a rich black velveteen material. The deco lame' is done in a great art deco pattern.
The arm holes are edged in the black velveteen and are 14 inches long.
The bottom portion of the cape is silk velvet, I believe. It is very soft. The entire cape is lined in a black satin material. I couldn't get a good picture of the lining but it follows the cut of the cape. The cape closes with a black cord frog.
There is some damage to the cape. The lame does have some shattering in 3 spots that I can see. The collar velveteen has given way at the seam but should be an easy fix. Even with the collar up, you can't see it.
If you need more pictures or more description, please let us know. This is a great collector's piece.

Weiss Crystal Rhinestone Leaf Pin 50's/60's Beautiful Weiss Crystal Rhinestone Leaf pin with a sparkle you will see across the room. There are 4 large clear round rhinestones set down the middle of the pin. There are 9 smaller round rhinestones on the sides--almost like a branch of grapes. There is one pear-shaped rhinestone at the end. The leaf stem is one clear baguette rhinestone. Eight Marquis rhinestones are on the outside of the pin and the final tip rhinestone is pear-shaped.
All the rhinestones are prong-set and are in very good shape. I noticed a black spot at the inside tip of the top marquise rhinestone which is noticeable with a loop. The setting is in silver-tone metal. The Weiss mark is on the tip of the largest pear-shaped rhinestone. The pin measures 2 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inch wide.
