An exquisite and very rare Liberty & Co couture black and gold lamé silk art-deco evening cape dating back to the mid 1920’s. The fashion house saw the need to make garments that were more stylish, but at the same time keep classic aesthetics. This cape, with its striking art-deco interplay of deep black and lustrous metallic gold, embodies the bold glamour of the era. As seen in the antique advertisements, the house was world-famed for their fabrics. Our cape, with its shimmering gold lamé offers an otherworldly glow, reflecting light with every movement. The fabric cascades beautifully over the shoulders, allowing for a free-flowing silhouette that still manages to command presence. We especially love the gorgeous scarf-neck design, which allows the piece to be worn open or closed as styled here. The cape’s dramatic structure evokes a sense of grandeur, while its inherent ease of wear remains unmistakably modern, even by today's standards. A true piece of wearable history, this Liberty & Co cape remains as relevant, stunning, and enchanting as it was nearly a century ago.
