Beautiful, Victorian era true velvet vintage 1910's black coat. Loose fit that looks to be for formal dressing, like an opera coat. Has a kind of a velvet cape look to it. Gathered at bodice with a shawl collar that splits in the back. 3/4 length sleeve that leaves room for glove wearing. Dense, saturated black velvet is hard to photograph in detail without overexposing it. It is much better than pictured, in my opinion. Fully lined with pockets. Good vintage condition, some overall wear to the velvet which looks like it's been stored for some time. No major issues. Dry clean only or risk ruining the velvet.
