Victorian Baby's Carrying Cape
DescriptionVICTORIAN BABY'S CARRYING CAPE IN FINE WOOL
This is a delightful cape for a baby, probably for a christening, in a very fine cream wool fabric. It has a shoulder cape and collar attached and is fully lined. It is decorated with a design of flowers and leaves in silk chain stitch with silk appliqué centres to the flowers and leaves . It has been fastened with corded ribbon ties, but may have had a tape round the neck in a casing at one time. The edges of the collar, shoulder cape and main garment are trimmed with silk braid of the same shade.
This is a beautiful period garment, very typical of its time. The fabric is in excellent condition and it could be worn or displayed to advantage.
