Aubergine Silk Velvet Ottoman Bolero Jacket and Silk Striped Skirt: C19th Ottoman wallhanging With insets of handmade laceFrom the 19th century a womans aubergine silk velvet bolero jacket with gilt embroidery with a plum and acid green striped silk skirt. Both in original antique condition. The jacket had some rubs to the velvet and some tears to the lining and some fading to the velvet. The skirt has some small rubs to the silk surface, and the tulle trim decoration which runs just above the hem is shattering. Measurements: (photographs taken on UK size 8 10 mannequin)
