Elbow length cape with a raised neckline, square cut back and waist-length lappets down the front. Feathers of two species, which have been artificially curled, have been mounted onto cotton fabric. The cape is lined with black silk satin. Hook and eye fastening at the front. Cockerell feathers (Gallus gallus domesticus) edge the entire cape. They are denser at the shoulders giving a wing-like effect. The shorter feathers are pheasant (Phasianus sp.). They could be either Green Pheasant (Phasianus versicolor) or the melanistic form of Common or Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchius).

  • Black cockerel feathers and green pheasant feathers have been used to fashion this dramatic cape of the 1890s. The artificially curled feathers are mounted onto cotton fabric and the whole cape is lined with black silk satin. The cape would have been worn over large leg of mutton sleeves which were popular at this time. These would have further reinforced the winged shoulder of the cape. The general effect of such an outfit, worn with high heels, would have made the wearer cut quite an imposing figure. (en)
