This is a lovely art deco era jacket with a capelet back that is made of “cut”, “burnout” or “devoré” velvet.  The velvet is designed in a floral pattern in tones of red, golden yellow, white, black, brown and orange. The piece has four loops at the upper opening, but the corresponding buttons are missing - you could use any buttons that you feel appropriate.  This jacket probably originally had a matching dress or was meant to be paired with an appropriate dress - striking piece in any case.

Age: 1930s 

Label: None 

Sizing: This jacket should fit a medium size, but please note the narrow shoulder width.  It measures 14” across the shoulders, seam to seam, and the sleeves have a length of 12 1/2” along the top edge.  The bust measures 38” around with no gap at the opening and the bottom measures about 60” around.

Condition:  It is in very good condition with no wear, tear, staining or marking.

This is a wonderful art deco jacket - perfect to accessorize / dress up an evening gown....
