Victorian black lace and sequin cape, Porthcawl, 19th century, Front (image 1 of 2)

Description

An ornate black lace ladies' cape, with beaded and sequinned decoration. This may well have been a mourning garment, as the wearing of black merely for the sake of fashion had yet to become widespread.
