About the Item
A regal piece of outerwear whose weight belies its warmth, this exquisite silk velvet mantle is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the touch. Vertical ruching creates drape and texture enough for it to hold its own when paired with drop waist flapper dresses or glamorous evening gowns, while the lacquered satin lining feels heavenly against the skin. From Crowell's Ready-to-Wear Shop, which catered to young university women of good breeding and excellent taste (excerpt below):
•University of Northern Colorado campus newspaper, Oct 1929•
"Crowell’s Ready-to-Wear Shop - Formerly the Classic Shop / 816 Eighth St. Phone 845
Formal Dresses for your Sorority Parties and dainty little form-fitting dresses with uneven hem-lines. The new silhouette styles are longer in back than front and are very slenderizing."
Thigh-length mantle with banded collar and plain front and back curved inset yoke; falls to knee in back and low thigh in front. Vertical ruching from yoke bottom to hem around full circumference; self-piped placket edges and scalloped hemline. No sleeves or arm holes; single covered toggle button closure at throat. Fully lined in black lacquered satin.

Haute Couture Black Embroidered Silk Piano Shawl Mantilla w Provenance - 1900s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Despite being over a century old, this intricate mantilla is as colorful and perfect as the day it was made. Similar in complexity to a piano shawl but half the traditional size (and twice as delicate) it is one of the most exquisite we have ever seen. Entirely handmade, its subtle color, delicate workmanship recalls designs by Maison Lesage.
*From the personal collection of Mme. Gilberte Garros, sister of French war aviator and French Open namesake Roland Garros.*
