Vintage Antique 1890s 1900s Victorian Jacket, Black and Brown Silk, Boning, Bead

Stunning antique / vintage Victorian to early Edwardian jacket circa the later 1800s or earliest 1900s. Black silk with a brown lining that looks like a polished cotton to me, and boning round the waist for shape. Semi open front with a inner black pleated area. Hooks and eyes up the front on inner brown panels, and along the back to attach a skirt to.

Great to excellent vintage condition given its age. The black silk does have some holes and some stabilizing would help here but it doesn''t appear to be actually shattering. The inner brown fabric seems in good shape other than some sort of water or sweat marks. There is a lot of wear to the ends of the sleeve cuffs and around the collar. It is missing a closure at the waist.
Priced accordingly, as is.
Measurements when lying flat.
Armpit to armpit across bust: 35" barely
Waist: approx. 26"
Shoulder to waist at side: 15"
