A rare and wearable piece of theatrical history. This antique French opera costume jacket dates to the early 1900s, crafted in the style of the early 1800s. Made of wool with rich velvet trim and detailed with original brass buttons, this jacket was created by the renowned costumier Aristide Boyer in Marseille. Fully lined in cotton and entirely hand-stitched, it reflects exquisite craftsmanship from a bygone era.
