Jacket

1840–80
Not on view
Although this has clearly been remade from an original garment, it retains its opulent presence. The workmanship required to create the fabric, completely worked in machine-made tambour stitching is remarkable. The subtlety of the shades in the tambour, contrasting dramatically with the gilt appliqués adds great visual interest.
