<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3815341, member: 8267&quot;]In this case I think the form of the garment will be more informative than the style of embroidery. Similar embroideries are described as Chinese, Canton-Manila work. These are pieces made in Canton, China, and traded out through Manila in the Philippines to Spain and elsewhere. They were often used as Spanish dance shawls called mantons, and as decorative piano shawls. The ones I have found that are shaped like a cape, as yours, are described as having been remodeled from flat Canton shawls during the late Victorian/Edwardian period, and may have been used as wedding capes.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6399p1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6399p0.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6399p0.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6399p0.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6095p0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6095p0.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6095p0.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.1860-1960.com/xa6095p0.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-edwardian-canton-embroidery-170210349" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-edwardian-canton-embroidery-170210349" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-edwardian-canton-embroidery-170210349</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://gem.app/product/embroidered-canton-shawl-cape-c-1900" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://gem.app/product/embroidered-canton-shawl-cape-c-1900" rel="nofollow">https://gem.app/product/embroidered-canton-shawl-cape-c-1900</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
