oriental over mantle type embroidered silk cape - 1920\'s?
I bought this yesterday along with a rather nice 30's outfit and another kimono style robe. I am a bit unsure about dates - it is slightly cocoon shaped in cut and I have a similarly shaped evening cape in black - but that is a lot more tapered in at the bottom. Is it 1920's, or is it a later thing do you think?
I took the pictures last night and the lighting is a bit weird (I was experimenting as I've moved the backdrop etc....have got it sussed now but these are a bit shadowy!)




It's a very lightweight silk, and machined with hand embroidery. Good condition with the exception of a tiny 'v' shaped nick in the back of the collar, and some very faint colour transfer onto the orange edging.
TIA!
