Antique 1920s Black Velvet Opera-Collar Jacket
This authentic 1920s black velvet blazer, adorned with satin sleeves inside the cuff, presents a striking wide "cocoon" or "opera" collar with ruching and a decorative buckle typical of capes from that time. It features a slightly shorter front and retains its original clasp, though a few rhinestones are absent. Radiating refined and commanding elegance, this robust piece remains in excellent antique condition.
