Rarest 1825 Regency Spencer Jacket Rich Emerald « Arsenic » Green Museum Quality!

Offering an outstanding, authentic Regency period short jacket called a Spencer, circa 1825, all-original and in beautifully-preserved museum quality condition. Clothing and accessories from the Regency period are very scarce and rarely found for sale. This is one of two Regency Spencers that I have cherished in my own collection that I began over 40 years ago. I recently sold my red silk, short-sleeved Spencer here on Ebay. This is the only Spencer I have left in my collection and it is a superlative example, with padding for added warmth and beautifully folded and ruched shoulders & upper arms. There is no boning in the jacket but tightly folded and sewn channels provide shape and stiffness. Completely hand-sewn of finest emerald green silk, it displays the talents of its seamstress. The rounded shawl collar is stiffened so it could stand up alone when it was cold, or often merely as a fashion statement. The color of the silk is much deeper & richer than my photos show–my current iphone is on its last leg and needs replacing. Lately my photos seem to wash out some of the colors of my antique clothing. Ruched and padded long sleeves are fuller at the upper arm and taper gently to fasten closely at the wrists with two small buttons. This is true to the fashion of the period as Gigot sleeves filled out and narrowed according to changing fashions. This Spencer originated from Western Europe. The silk is strong and supple with less than expected age wear–there is a place at the ruched upper sleeve that needs a couple stitches that have opened about 1/2 to 3/4″, probably due to the putting on and taking off of the jacket. Otherwise, the only thing to mention is some scattered fading to the brown silk inner lining. The waistband in back features a lovely little detail of a pleated fan. I haven't given any history of Regency fashion, but I'm very happy to answer any questions you may have, so please message me as I am always happy to help. Please consider my photos as part of the description and I will ask again to remind you that the color of the Spencer is richer than my photos show. Thank you for your interest and I hope you will add me to your favorite sellers list. Blessings, Michelle
