Cape 1892 - 1902

This black silk and jet-embroidered cape, known as "Cape," is a striking example of late-19th century fashion, created by the designer Au Louvre between 1892 and 1902. The intricate embroidery, featuring delicate floral motifs, adds a touch of elegance to the garment, while the jet embellishments create a sense of sparkle and luxury. This cape, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents a period when fashion embraced elaborate detail and ornate embellishments.
