Victorian Baby's Carrying Cape
Photos
Description
VICTORIAN BABY'S CARRYING CAPE IN FINE WOOLThis 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.

DimensionsThe cape is 35 inches long, measured at the centre of the back, the shoulder cape is 21 inches long and the collar 3 1/2 inches wide. The cape is quite narrow at the top and would have been for a new baby.
ConditionThere are some light brown stains on the lining and also on the front of the collar and one on the shoulder cape, which can be seen in the photos. There are also a couple of mothholes on the collar, mostly under the braid at the neck edge.
