Dolman 1878 - 1882

"Dolman" is a garment from the late 19th century, created by the Compagnie Lyonnaise, a French textile company. This garment is a "dolman" style, a type of long, loose-fitting coat with a wide, round collar. The brown fabric, likely wool, is richly adorned with elaborate fringe, adding texture and visual interest. This "dolman" is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, where it showcases the craftsmanship and fashion trends of the late 19th century.
