A man's coat of pale green silk satin. It has a round neckline with a narrow (3 cm) standing collar. The shaped, two-piece sleeves end in round cuffs. The coat fronts curve from neck to hem with a pleat below the hip at the side-back seams. There is a scalloped pocket flap on each front at hip level. The cuffs, pocket flaps, sleeves, fronts and back are lined with pale mauve silk satin. The coat is tamboured to shape down the fronts, around the back vent, along the front side pleat, on and around the pocket flaps, on the collar and on the pale mauve satin cuffs. The design includes floral sprays with swags and tassels, worked with silks in white, grey and shades of rust and green. There are 11 green-satin-covered, embroidered-to-shape buttons on the right front, from neck to pocket flap, with 2 buttonholes on the left front, worked in pale green silk twist, corresponding with the 3rd and 4th buttons. There are 3 buttons below each pocket flap, one above the side pleats and one holding them together at the hem (missing on the right side). There are 3 mauve-satin-covered, embroidered-to-shape buttons on each cuff.

The coat was altered in the late 19th century, possibly for theatrical wear or studio prop. The sleeves were shortened under the cuff and the metal hook on the right front below the collar with a corresponding hook on the left, were probably added then.
