Those were usually the first thing to be plundered over the years. The boning is most likely whalebone/baleen. It's hard to tell because it looks like it is wrapped in thread. Reed had pretty much fallen out of use by the late 18th century and was replaced with baleen and steel. I love how close this jacket is to the Truly Victorian patterns!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443627599224734696.post-18994025804282856702012-01-15T21:22:34.107-06:002012-01-15T21:22:34.107-06:00Wow, it looks like it is in near perfect condition...Wow, it looks like it is in near perfect condition!Lauren Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547111610954587797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443627599224734696.post-33841853573363195522012-01-14T22:21:18.821-06:002012-01-14T22:21:18.821-06:00Such beautifully intricate piecing and folding!

Thank you for sharing the details here (so often you don't get to see the nitty gritty in a museum display) I wish I could help with restoration advice, but maybe a museum curating department might know more?Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443627599224734696.post-20875698072051195392012-01-13T13:07:42.128-06:002012-01-13T13:07:42.128-06:00Wow!
