Dating to the late 1800s, this red wool jacket exemplifies Victorian tailoring through its nipped waist, flared hem, and ornamental use of black velvet.
The velvet inserts, cut in a jagged motif, adorn the cuffs and front closure, serving both as visual anchors and subtle status markers.
The use of star-patterned buttons and structured pleating along the back hint at formal wear—possibly intended for carriage rides or walking attire.
