Adorable dark brown faux seal plush capelet circa 1890s.

The silk "seal plush" is made to look like seal fur. Capelet is lined with a lovely purple quilted silk satin and has a small in the lining.

Toggle closure at the collar and pocket trim appear to be real fur.

Found an extra fur toggle in the pocket, but I am not certain where it belongs. Will include!

Collar can be worn standing up or folded down.

Measurements

15" collar circumference

11" length

Condition

Fair to good condition with some flaws to note:

* Quite dusty from storage
* Missing some of the hook/eye closures
* Wear and tear to the silk lining
* Seam separations between lining and outer capelet

Wearable with extra care but likely best for study, display, or pattern-making.
