Evening Cloak of Velvet, Satin, Silk and Maribou Liberty, London, 1920 This and all related images from: The Victoria & Albert Museum |
This luxurious evening cloak, meant for use in winter, was made by Liberty's—the celebrated London store—around 1920. It was purchased by one Mrs. R. Scraggs. While clearly of the Jazz Age, the cloak is reminiscent of the styles of earlier cloaks which were produced by the Liberty workshops in the “Aesthetic” taste.
