Antique French Theatre Costume 19th Century Military Style Indigo Blue Red Sun Fade Gold Ribbon Trim Brass Buttons

Antique 19th Century French Theatre Costume Jacket – Military Style, Blue & Red Cotton with Gold Trim

Original 19th-century French theatre costume jacket in a military style. Made from blue herringbone-woven cotton with red cotton panels, accented by gold metallic ribbon trim and brass buttons. As is often the case with antique stage garments, the base jacket appears older than the period when the red front panel and gold trims were added—likely updated for a later production.
