Summary edit

Description
English: Evening Cloak

Liberty & Co.
About 1920
London
Velvet trimmed with marabou feathers, satin and gilt threads

Liberty's were famous for their rich fabrics and garments inspired by historical fashions. The cloak is reminiscent of earlier styles produced by the Liberty workshops, which followed the 'Aesthetic' taste in fashion. The dark rose-pink velvet cloak is trimmed at the hem with appliqué motifs above a deep band of marabou feathers which resemble fur. The applied shapes are padded and made of gold satin. They echo renaissance garments where the silk or velvet was slashed to reveal a colourful lining beneath.

Worn and given by Mrs R. Craggs

Collection ID: T.238-1963
