Vintage Antique 1800s Victorian Jacket, Large Size Black Silk Edwardian

Stunning late 1800s vintage antique Victorian mourning bodice jacket. Jacquard Ribbon trim down the front, and solid black trim at cuffs and hem and round the neckline. Hooks and eyes at the front, but just three at the top. Bottom potion has none and it appears as though there never were any. Slight leg o mutton sleeve, tapering to a cuff. Lined in gold. I believe the jacket is silk, and the lining cotton. No label. Wonderful rare larger size but do see measurements below. Great to excellent vintage condition, given its age. The lining has some smudges and age spots and loose threads in the armhole seams. Also, one of the cuffs is coming away from the rest of the sleeve at the seam. There are a few holes and worn areas in the main body of the jacket but only one of these gives me any real pause. It's a horizontal area where the threads are pulling apart about an inch long and it's on the back of the shoulders. I would stabilize it with some web or black patching before I wore this, if you indeed wish to wear this. Also wonderful for a collection or display. Measurements when lying flat. Armpit to armpit across bust: 39" Waist: approx. 31"--its open at the front. Shoulder to waist at side: 14" Please note: These are vintage, preworn and/or preloved items. I do my utmost best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected, and there are occasionally small things I won't deem worthy of note. Please feel free to send me a missive with any questions. I'm truly
