Extraordinary 1920s Evening Velvet & Feather Flapper Coat Cape designer-mr-blackwell Gorgeous embroidered silk Chinese exportThis cape is utterly amazing and a true work of art. It has a hand stenciled pattern of leaves running through the black silk velvet that gives it the feel of the work that masters like Fortuny and Gallenga were doing at the time. I have actually always wondered about the true origins of this cape it does have a label but the label is that of a departments store Dey Borthers and co that originally opened in 1894. I have seen very similar pieces by
