coat. Material: satin lined with silk. Color: black lined with purple. Period or Date: ca. 1895. Country: US. Description: Black satin coat lined with purple chinese silk, large collar and cuffs. Worn by Mrs. George Knox of S.F. & Oak. 5/26/95, IBM: This black satin coat, which has two large pockets in the front, is decorated with some embroidery and simple beading at the pockets and cuffs. The lining is orchid colored silk damask patterned with large flowers (which may or may not be Chinese in origin). The style of the coat would place it in the 20th century, probably c. 1908-1913, not 1895 as originally catalogued.
