Hi all! I have this black silk faille jacket that was sold to me as early 1900s but I'd like some confirmation. Huge bow tie front, pointed collar, interesting shape on the sleeves. Thank you!

The sleeve shape suggests it was worn over a full bishop sleeve, and that would be typical of the early 1900s (1900 - 1903). but they do show up in later periods too - late 20s - early 30s; early 1970s... It's hard to tell without handling the piece.
