Robe of brocaded silk and cotton, made by Liberty & Co., London, ca. 1897. This garment was inspired by 16th-century long gowns, and it was made in Liberty's Artistic and Historic Costume Studio for a member of the Liberty family. The fairly large scale woven pattern features pomegranates and sunflowers - both favoured late-19th-century decorative motifs. The gown consists of a flared front sateen panel attached to an open, flowing robe which falls from pleats at the back neck and has gathered double puffed sleeves with narrow under-sleeves. The sturdy materials combined with deep edgings of heavy plush and a stiff mid-blue taffeta lining give the robe a stately quality. Silk and cotton brocade, lined with taffeta, with a silk-satin front panel and silk-plush edgings.
