Cape 1897 - 1900

This black cape, created by L.P. Hollander & Co. between 1897 and 1900, is a stunning example of late 19th-century fashion. The delicate netting and elaborate beaded embellishments create a sense of both elegance and sophistication. The layered ruffles and fringe trim add volume and movement to the garment, giving it a dramatic and feminine aesthetic. This cape, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era.
