Late 19th Century Copy of 1790's British Officer's Coat
"Scarlet super fine coat with willow green lapels, standing collar and cuffs. Ten buttons in pairs with gold lace on each lapel. Four buttons in pairs on cuffs and pocket flaps. Gilt buttons bear a crown/"GR" device. Heavily padded, silk upper lining with cassimere skirt and turnbacks. Gilt button with embroidered star device on each skirt. A fine, professional tailor's reproduction of a 1790s British coat probably done for a Jubilee celebration. "
