Antique White Silk Embroidered Tassel Wedding Shawl Cloak Cape. |
This antique Edwardian era white silk embroidered tassel wedding shawl cloak cape dates from 1910. It is made of a off white ivory color silk fabric, with beautiful hand done raised padded satin stitch embroidery white work. There are Chinese embroidered symbols, precious objects, scrolls, gourds and a variety of floral vine leaf designs. This beautiful bridal wedding cloak cape was custom made and created from an antique Manton Canton Chinese Cantonese style Spanish Flamenco piano shawl, with hand knotted macramé off white silk fringe trim edging. There are four wonderful large 8 inch long cream color chenille, white silk tassel trim accents hanging down the back and on the silk rope tie front closure. The cape is layered, measuring 47 inches long, with an additional 9 inch long fringe trim, 33 inches wide across the top and 123 inch wide across the bottom. It is in excellent wearable condition, but has not been cleaned. There are a few faint small age spots on the shawl collar (see close-ups). This is truly a rare wonderful piece of wearable textile art.
