This exquisitely embroidered quality made jacket has a short hip... length loose fitting boxy style, with long full sleeves, an embroidered wide lapel collar, a carved mother of pearl button front closure and is fully lined in white silk with a small inside pocket.

It is in good as-is condition, with a few tiny faint age spot stains and tiny pin holes on the back neck, sleeve cuff (see close-ups).
