Hand-embroidered mantle, House of Worth, Paris, ca. 1909. Mantle made from purple taffeta with a large Japanese style floral design in shades of pink, maroon, turquoise, white and gold. The band, collar and cuffs are of purple silk velvet. The coat is full-length, the sleeves cut in one with the body of the coat. The front drapes across to fasten at the low waist with a self-covered button, the fastening trimmed with two bead tassels. A gathered flounce runs from under the armhole to the knee in front, forming a slightly gathered skirt. The back is draped from a rosette, in the small of the back. The coat is lined with purple chiffon, mounted on white chiffon.
