Evening coat 1895 - 1899

"Evening Coat" is a garment from the late 19th century, crafted between 1895 and 1899 by the artist Manby. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a striking example of late Victorian fashion. The coat's simple, flowing lines are contrasted by a richly embellished central panel, featuring intricate beading and a long fringe. The design highlights the era's fascination with both understated elegance and luxurious detailing.
